DOC Details Prior Sexual Offense History
According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Benefee has a history of sexual contact involving two adult women he did not know.
The department reports that the incidents occurred separately. Its offense summary states that the contact included sexual touching and penetration.
According to the DOC, Benefee approached one woman in a public setting before entering her vehicle.
The department says he gained access to the second woman by forcing his way into her residence.
In both incidents, the DOC reports that Benefee used force and threats of serious harm to maintain control.
