The Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Department of Corrections on Tuesday announced a high-risk sex offender will be moving into the city of London.

According to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office, the offender, Brooks Daniel Fisher, has been cleared by the state Department of Corrections to live in London. He is a Level 3 predatory offender.

A meeting is slated for 6 p.m. April 12 at the London Township Hall, where more information about Fisher and the predatory offender registration program will be discussed.

According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections website, Fisher was admitted to the Rush City prison May 14, 1992, after he was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a dangerous weapon in Stearns County. The website states Fisher was a stranger to the victim, who was a woman age 18 or older. He was also convicted of aggravated robbery in the same case.

Fisher’s anticipated release date is April 17.

In Minnesota, offenders are rated based on several criteria, including the seriousness of the offense, age of the victim, prior history, number of victims, offender’s characteristics, substance abuse history and availability of community supports.

Fisher’s classification as a Level 3 offender means he is someone who has a high risk of reoffending. It does not mean that he will necessarily commit a new crime, but that he is part of a group of people who are most likely to.

A Level 1 offender has a low risk of reoffending, and a Level 2 offender has a moderate risk of reoffending.

When a Level 1 offender is released, law enforcement agencies are called and victims and witnesses may be notified.

With a Level 2 release, more people are notified, including schools, day cares and other establishments that tend to serve potential victims.
