<br />1------------ <br /> <br />TO: Don lise, Director <br /> <br />FROM: Dylan Warkentin, Supervisor <br />RE: Kermit Deloach <br /> <br />DATE: 3/22/04 <br /> <br />The offender was sentenced in Hennepin County District Court for Criminal Sexual Conduct <br />2nd Degree on 3/9/01. The offense occurred in September of 2000 while the subject was <br />homeless, bouncing around between relatives. <br /> <br />The offender was released from prison on his mandatory supervised release date of 3/8/04. <br />He was designated as a level 2 sex offender by the End of Confinement Review Community. <br />The level 2 status requires law enforcement to notify community organizations near the <br />offender's residence, where potential victims congregate. Law enforcement followed through <br />with this requirement and notified a daycare in the neighborhood about the purposed address <br />for the offender. <br /> <br />Rich Anderson was the agent assigned to the case. He went out to the home and discussed <br />the placement plan with the resident, Lilly Word, on 2/13/04. Agent Anderson spent time going <br />over all of the Intensive Supervised Release Rules and ensured that she was aware of his <br />history. Agent Anderson specifically discussed the no contact with minor provision with her. <br />This was extremely important in this case due to the fact that Ms Word had two grandchildren <br />staying with her at that time. Ms Word is a long time girlfriend of the subject and has lived with <br />the subject in the past at other locations. Prior to the subject's release Agent Anderson <br />indicated that he told her that the grandchildren living at the residence couldn't reside there if <br />she agreed to allow the offender to live at the residence with her. She assured the agent that <br />the living arrangement was temporary and that by the time the offender was released the <br />children would be moved. <br /> <br />On 3/8/04 the offender was transported from prison to the residence by Agent Anderson. <br />Agent Anderson went through the house and noted no direct evidence of children still residing <br />in the home. <br /> <br />Based on community concern regarding the truthfulness of his girlfriend I instructed Agent <br />Anderson to go back to the residence and double check to see if the defendant's girlfriend <br />returned home and to search for further evidence of childcare in the home. Before Agent <br />Anderson could make it back to the home a concerned neighbor called and reported that the <br />subject's girlfriend had returned home with two minors. I requested that they keep an eye on <br />the house until law enforcement and the agent got to the home. The police were notified <br />immediately and a DOC warrant was issued. The offender was at the residence for less than <br />two hours. <br /> <br />It should be noted that it is the rote of law enforcement to notify the appropriate members of the <br />community of an offender's relocation based on a registered address. We allowed law <br />enforcement to do the proper notification. It appears that they acted appropriately. The <br />concerned neighbors heard of the offender due to the notification to the daycare. We did not <br />hear any concerns form the neighbors until the day of the offender's release. We took their <br />concerns very seriously and acted upon the information that they provided. It is <br /> <br />.~ <br />
