Registered sex offender: 1 living in Oslo in May

Published 07/20/26

There was no change in the number of registered sex offenders living in Oslo in May compared to the previous month, according to the Minnesota Public Registrant Search.

As of May, one sex offender was living in the city.

The Registry shows this sex offender is a sexual predator.

In Minnesota, people convicted of sex-related crimes are required to register as predatory offenders. The registration period usually lasts 10 years from sentencing, release, or the end of supervision, but in serious cases, such as repeat offenses or first-degree criminal sexual conduct, it can extend to lifetime registration.

Minnesota spends over $100 million annually on its Sex Offense Civil Commitment (SOCC) program, designed to prevent sex offender recidivism, according to a study by the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center.

As of August 2024, there were 18,877 registered sex offenders living in Minnesota. This translates to roughly 331 offenders per 100,000 residents.
