A community notification meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19, at the Montevideo Community Center concerning the release of Sheen Jamale Newton, 21, a convicted Level 3 Predatory Offender.
Newton is expected to be released from prison Monday, and will move into a residence located in the 300 block of South Sixth Street in Montevideo.
Representatives from the Department of Corrections and the Montevideo Police Department will be available to provide those attending the meeting with useful information on public safety.
According to a news release issued by the Montevideo Police Department, Newton has a history of engaging in forcible sexual contact with a 10-year-old female victim. Contact included penetration, with force being used to gain compliance. Newton was known to the victim.
Newton is not wanted by the police and has served the sentence imposed on him by the court.
The Montevideo Police Department, the supervising release agent, and the Minnesota Department of Corrections may not direct where Newton does or does not reside, nor can these agencies direct where he works or goes to school. The risk level of this offender has been determined based largely on his potential to re-offend based on his previous criminal behavior.
Newton is required to register with law enforcement pursuant to state law.
There is a possibility that Newton will not be released Monday, as a petition for civil commitment has been filed. Should the meeting be cancelled due to Newton being committed, KDMA, Channel 8 and the Montevideo Police Department Facebook page will post the cancellation. A notice will also be posted on the Montevideo American-News website.
