There was the same number of registered sex offenders living in Freeborn County in October compared to the previous month, according to the Minnesota Public Registrant Search.

There are nine sex offenders registered in Freeborn County in October.

The Registry shows none of these sex offenders are sexual predators. In Minnesota, convicted predatory offenders also are subject to certain mandatory sentencing laws that are designed to minimize their chances to re-offend.

Minnesota legislation about sex offenders and predators is currently being evaluated and revised, such as if offenders with good behavior can be removed from the Registry.
