(<a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Minnesota Department of Corrections records list Gerald Bryan Becker as homeless in Faribault, Rice County.<\/p>\n<p>The public registrant record identifies Becker by Minnesota DOC offender number 156941. His registered location is listed as homeless in Faribault, Minnesota, 55021.<\/p>\n<p>The designation does not provide a specific street address. It also does not identify Becker&#8217;s exact location or daily movements.<\/p>\n<p>The record lists June 13, 1971, as Becker&#8217;s birth date. He is described as five feet nine inches tall and weighing 155 pounds.<\/p>\n<h2>DOC Details Prior Sexual Offenses<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Becker has a history of sexual contact involving an adult woman and a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>The department says the incidents happened on separate occasions. The reported contact included sexual touching and penetration.<\/p>\n<p>According to the DOC, Becker approached the victims in public places. The summary says he forced one victim to accompany him to another location.<\/p>\n<p>He reportedly arranged to meet the other victim the following day.<\/p>\n<p>The department also describes the use of force during the incidents. It states that Becker exploited one victim&#8217;s developmental disability to gain control.<\/p>\n<p>The profile cites <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.344\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.344<\/a>, which covers third-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n<p>It also lists a charge under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.25<\/a>, which addresses kidnapping.

These include Bryan Becker, Jerry Becker, and Gerald Bryan Skjevelan.<\/p>\n<h2>Public Registration Information in Faribault<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/coms.doc.state.mn.us\/PublicRegistrantSearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota DOC Public Registrant Search<\/a> provides information about individuals covered by community notification laws.<\/p>\n<p>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/244.052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 244.052<\/a>, law enforcement agencies determine what registration information may be released to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The DOC publishes authorized information to help residents understand registrants&#8217; general areas of residence.<\/p>\n<p>The department states that Becker is not listed as wanted by law enforcement.
