href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\">trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Michael Dean Brown, 65, appears in Minnesota&#8217;s public registrant database.<\/p>\n<p>The Minnesota Department of Corrections lists his registered address in the 2100 block of Campus Drive Southeast.<\/p>\n<p>The location is in Rochester, within Olmsted County.<\/p>\n<p>The public profile describes a history of sexual offenses involving girls he knew between 1994 and 2003.<\/p>\n<p>This is a community notification record about past offenses, not a report of a new arrest.<\/p>\n<h2>DOC Describes Offenses Between 1994 and 2003<\/h2>\n<p>According to the DOC, Brown had sexual contact with female children he knew during that period.<\/p>\n<p>The state describes the contact as touching.<\/p>\n<p>Its summary says Brown used relationships of trust to obtain access to the children without close supervision.<\/p>\n<p>The DOC also describes manipulation and coercion used to maintain control.<\/p>\n<p>The public summary does not identify the children or give the date of each incident.<\/p>\n<p>It does not provide complete court records or a conviction breakdown for every described event.<\/p>\n<p>Those missing details should not be inferred from the short public account.<\/p>\n<h2>Criminal Sexual Conduct Statutes Listed<\/h2>\n<p>The record cites <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.342\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Statute 609.342<\/a>, which addresses first-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n<p>It also lists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statute 609.345<\/a>, covering fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n<p>A third citation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/609.3451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Statute 609.3451<\/a>, concerns fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct.<\/p>\n<p>These laws cover different forms of unlawful sexual contact or penetration.<\/p>\n<p>The DOC profile does not specify the statutory subdivisions or sentences linked to each citation.<\/p>\n<p>It also references <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revisor.mn.gov\/statutes\/cite\/253D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Minnesota Chapter 253D<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That chapter covers civil commitment and treatment procedures for certain sexual offenders.<\/p>\n<p>The reference alone does not establish Brown&#8217;s current treatment placement or legal restrictions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60819\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60819\" style=\"width: 197px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

treatment status or individual restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The release date field is blank in the available listing.<\/p>\n<p>The profile also does not give an individual community notification risk
