A Level 3 predatory offender — who has a history of sexual contact with female children between the ages of 11 and 15 — will move Wednesday to the 200 block of Fourth Avenue Northeast in Brainerd.
A new date has been set for 6 p.m. Tuesday for a community notification meeting for Joshua Paul Rinde at the Brainerd Police Department.
Rinde, 27, was set to be released from Crow Wing County Jail last week to move to a residence at the 900 block of South Seventh Street, but then plans changed when the Minnesota Department of Corrections deemed the location inappropriate.
Brainerd Police Chief Corky McQuiston said Rinde was incarcerated in January in Crow Wing County Jail after violating the conditions on his probation and was sent back to jail.
A Level 3 is the highest risk level and most likely to re-offend and requires a community notification meeting by law. The community notification meeting on Rinde will be conducted at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Brainerd Police Department. The meeting is open to the public. Brainerd Police and Minnesota Department of Corrections staff will be at the meeting to provide information regarding Rinde.
McQuiston said Rinde, who was known or briefly known by his victims, is not new to the community. Rinde was released from prison last August and he moved to the area of the 17000 block of County Road 3, near Merrifield. He then was living in a transitional house with two Level 2 predatory offenders.
According to the Minnesota Department of Corrections, in 1997 Rinde was convicted of indecent exposure as a juvenile in which he engaged in sexual contact with a 12-year-old female while she was sleeping. He was placed on probation for the crime.
In 1998 Rinde was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, again as a juvenile, against a 15-year-old female victim in which he used force for compliance. He again was placed on probation.
In 2002 Rinde was convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct against a 12-year-old female victim. He as certified as an adult and sentenced to 144 months in prison.
Rinde also had violated the conditions of his release last year by dating a woman who had young children. He served four months in prison for the violation.
Once released Wednesday, Rinde will have served his sentence and will not be wanted by law enforcement, though he will be under supervision of a Department of Corrections agent.

Yea musky.. All 12 and 13 year old kids should get hit with sledgehammers..
Wheres Justice?
This guy has been on probation twice and in prison once. What ever happened to 3 strikes and your out? I feel safe now..........
Ah, the joys of too little info:
Ah, the joys of too little info: in 2002, Rinde would have been 17; in 1997 about 5 years younger.
Is Rinde a predator, almost like a wolf, that needs to be culled from the herd? While many would cry foul at the suggestion that some people's genes render them unsuitable to be loose in society what if Rinde's genes hearken back to the cave days when rape was perhaps a useful tactic to ensure survival of the species?
Why did Rinde start at an early age? We were all oversexed as teenagers: will Rinde grow out of it? Would it be fair to neuter him? If yes or no, why? Suppose Rinde gets his life in order, finds love and marries: can we demand that he and his wife have no children, lest they turn out like he did? Can we warn them that Rinde is in violation of the terms of his release should his wife become pregnant?
here's a bet no-one answers these questions!
No they won't
No they won't. Because nobody cares, if a 17 year old decides to do that, when he should know it was wrong. What if your genes condemn you to a life of an inferior being that tries to pass judgement on everyone else that want justice and law-abiding behavior? We you say. We who? Don't include me in your dark little guilt trip. I really get tired of people saying "WE" when they describe their own feelings and dark desires. You need to answer the questions that haunt your life yourself and quit trying to transfer blame on every one else for your guilty thoughts.
You actually blocked that?
Does this eyolf person work there or own this paper?
Get a life
Mr eyolf, your guilty thoughts are your own. There is no "WE" in the whole calculation. It is you that thinks these ways.
Eyolf, suppose your wrong,
Eyolf, suppose your wrong, suppose he rapes and murders some young child, will you come back and just say ooppps ,silly me I was wrong? Typical idiot, HOW MANY YOUNG GIRLS IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? As a father of three young girls and a person with common sense I say zero! He is already at what 3?If I had a dollar for every time I have seen this same story in the news and on TV..............and the usual ending is someones innocent child is murdered by these sick douche bags , and people like you who then come out of the wood work finally demanding blood. Sick of the crap in this society anymore. Maybe you will put your kind gentle hand out and offer your children or grandchildren for him to practice his ''new'' life?
here's a bet you don't have an intelligent answer these questions!
Eyolf, suppose your wrong,
hhhh
Dig one eyolf
Hey eyolf, how about you just read the article and not complain. thanks
good times now
Oh, he will have a good time now- Moving in with like minded individual(s) In an area with lots of potential prey. And now that the bus stop has been relocated to just across the street from them. Perfect.
lamigra
If you look at his past, he's not "into" children, he's not a pedophile.. It seems that he prefers females his own age. Those who study sexual offenders will tell you that behavior and preferences isn't likely to change. Voyeurs will remain voyeurs, peeping toms will stay in their comfort zone, and child rapists aren't likely to change their sexual behaviors.
I guess I'm reading this article and seeing a child who got involved in the system at the age of 12, again at 13, then charged as an adult and slapped with a felony and 12 years in prison at the age of 17.
So the potential to murder or
So the potential to murder or again rape a 20 something year old woman isn't nearly as bad as a 14 year old?, wow you people look for tid bits to point out. Well in my eyes he victimized young teen age girls, and there is NOTHING here that says he wont try to rape a woman of any age again. Are you related to this person? Just curious why you think he would only do this with woman his own age, or can you show me something that says he wouldn't rape a young teenage girl again, please show or stop making excuses for the monsters in this world.
@ "leftover'
The fact that he was 20 years old when he victimized a 12 year old in 2002 is enough reason to label him as a pedophile 'Leftover'!
I guess I "win":
I guess I "win": all the knee-jerkers opened up with predrawn conclusions.
I had none; I was merely askng a question. Rinde may, indeed not be suitable to be included in civilized society, but how can we, in good conscience, declare him to be a genetic backwater who isn't useful anymore?
Most of the respondents tried very hard to avoid it, but the overwhelming majority believes that we do have the right to declare others to be "unfit"...even if they are too cowardly to admit their inner feelings.
It isn't at all about whether Rinde is guilty, inocent, or some combination of the two based on his tender years as an offender: its about people who substitute judgementalism for thought and who only exercize is jumping to conclusions. Iamigra, for example, suggests that anyone that disagrees with him is an "idiot". Another poster can't even use simple arithmetic; if Rinde is 27 years of age in 2012, 10 years ago in 2002 he was 20? Does that mean he ages at 70% of the rate the rest of us do, and in 1997 he was actually 17?
C'mon, you can do better than that.
Really?
@Leftover
-Thank you. I agree with you completely. He was 17 when he went in and he doesn't rape little girls. All these stupid articles make him sound like some grown man running around raping babies and he's not. It's ridiculous.
@angler
-Hey, at 20 years old, he had been sitting in prison already for a couple years. Not sure how he raped a little girl from inside of prison but okay, I love how you make him worse than the article even. He was 17 and you don't know the story. So stop believing every little thing you read in the paper.
@lamigra
-Wow, you sure fight big. You don't know him. If you knew him you wouldn't be sitting her arguing saying that he is going to rape kids. Oh, and really murder? Why do you think he is going to murder someone? By the way, typical idiot? Way to judge.
"I guess I "win": "
Hmmm, the one who ridicules people that want to win says this?
Please tell us all how it is that you, who denounces anyone who dares to judge anyone else, get to pass judgement on so many? In another thread you are labeling and name-calling others also. WHO are You anyway?
Ms Jan
I'm a guessing you & I dont smoke thee same peace pipe EHH?? Are you one of those WHO write THOSE goofs??? & want to be married?? U need a shrink.
Lamigra and OldFarmBoy
Perhaps Sharia Law suits you better than our laws. They say a ped should be impaled on a sharpened stake and left to die. Its to be on display in public as a deterent to others...
I wish i could say what I think of these people
but it would be deleted...
this I do know about those that think sexual predators should be let out on "good behavior" and have a place in society. Once it is your family that has an abused kid, your mind will change, and if you say it happened in your family and you still dont want the punishment changed to fit the crime, you are lying.
These people ruin lives of not only the victims but their families as well.
The American Way...
Everyone has the right too have their own opinion, opinions and speaking what not everyone agrees with all the time IS the American Way! Yes, I admit that I would not openly put my child around someone of this nature, and yes I will admit that is due too the media and "group hysteria", but I always remember this...each person walks into a room with invisible baggage, things you cannot see and things you may never know that had made them the way they are. We all snap judge people on a daily basis, every one of us and that is why things are how they are in this world today. I bet there are lots of people out there who know people but don't know some kind of dirty thing they have in their past, and if you found out, would you break off friendship with them because you were afraid of what others may think of YOU? The fact is, there will be enough people in that area watching this persson in their neighborhood and he won't have the chance too do anything. Not that any other crime is equal too this, but how would all of you like too have some problem you had broadcast through the entire town and only be judged upon that for the rest of your life? Human nature is too gossip, to brag, to defend what is yours and for your loved ones, but judging? Judging can only be left too one, and that is not us here on earth!
@Anauheimer
I really like your thinking and I agree.
@ both of you
When he gets tired of the people in the neighborhood watching him and decides to take a road trip to Little Falls or Crosby or Aitkin, whom gets to judge his behavior when he does exactly what his level of behavior is famous for doing? Why don't you people just take them into your home and vouch for them? That would be the right thing for you to do.
I don't know this Rinde guy
I don't know this Rinde guy, and I bet none of the rest do, except maybe January. So I posted a response to the few that had already posted and trolled for more responses from the meat-eaters out there who are lurking.
And I got 'em.
As i said, I don't know Rinde or his story. I don't know what is right.
But he was in violation of his parole for dating a woman who had children. Maybe he would be in violation of his parole for dating a woman with the intent of marrying her and having children too. What do you think?
If there is a genetic component to his problem, do we have the right as a society to deny him some or all rights based on his genes?
Who decides?
If there was a failure in nurture, do we punish his parents? What if he has no parents and was brought up in foster care...do we punish the state?
Not many here want to consider those questions or discuss them. Its much easier to fantasize about inflicting punishment on Rinde. And perhaps Rinde deserves it...but we don't, probably even can't know that. So we take the easy way out, point our fingers and fix blame.
Doesn't matter if we're right, only matters that when we have someone like Rinde to point to we don't have to look at ourselves (thanks, annauheimer).
And when someone like eyolf comes along and points that out, we get uncomfortable.
Ohfor natural selection
There is alot to be said for it.
The level of his preditory behavior isnt arbitrarily given.
Opinions, sometimes that's all you get
There really isn't an answer too the questions your asking eyolf. Those kind of answers of what too do and how too find the reason why he has done what he has done, aren't going too be spoken. As "inhumane" his behavior may have been, we live in America, and too troll through past family records and all that too find out what the reasons are would just take too much time, and I really don't think you could come up with an exact point where something happened and it made him snap into "offender mode". No one can say what help he would need, no one can say if there would be a "cure", no one can say he will go to another town on a drive one day and commit a crime, and that is why people are worried, because there is NO answer. Everyone has rights, and some people may not like that when THEY feel someone has done wrong, but it is the same for us all. I don't know this man, and this is an area for opinion and discussion, but too constantly shoot down others opinions using confusing wording too make yourself sound smarter isnt winning points with anyone. No one can answer the questions floating out there, that is why he is released, as a citizen this man has the same rights as the rest of us, no one can say what they really think should be done without being under scrutiny for stating their opinion. None of our opinions are going too change the fact that he WILL move into NE and those parents WILL be on edge, just the same as someone incarcerated with women or children charges on them has too be worried while there, he's gonna be worried every time he steps out his door of someone taking him out or jumping him, isn't that enough? We are scared too see him out, and I'm sure he's scared too come out, I know from working in that area for almost 4 years, everyone over there will be watching him very closely.
Too the people sticking up
Too the people sticking up for this great member of the community. Just once get off the ''politically correct'' band wagon, attached to this is a link to a new story just this morning, looks familiar doesn't it?, rapist that finally murders his victim. I find it so sad people on this forum always feel the need to pull the ''judge'' card, and how you very people expect everyone else to change their minds because the same people cant comprehend that certain people are just plain bad. Some of you talk down to people expressing your opinions on here as you defend rapists, the only difference is you give the rapist the benefit of the doubt and not the law abiding citizen. Certain people on this thread people say you cant judge this rapist , he has done his time who says he hasn't changed? Let me get this right....person rapes young girl.....then does it again.......then again....then goes to prison.......Miraculously is somehow reformed (in a hostile prison) is labeled as a level 3 (which is most likely to re offend) at what part of your theory did you imagine 12 years in prison would cure him, is the the great atmosphere? As for the judge card, A panel of my peers Judged him and put him in prison as he is a danger to society, when will some of you get a backbone and see the face value?

Simply a forum
This is a forum for discussion and opinions, right here, that is all that will happen. Maybe voting or some kind of move like that could eventually change things, but until they figure out the way too do it without offending too many people it will not change. Not a single elected official would touch this subject because there is the side of human opinions, and there is the side of the rights of the people. As unfair as it sounds, we have too take the good with the bad. Not saying there is nothing we can do, but its pretty close too that being the answer.
eyolf
"If there is a genetic component to his problem, do we have the right as a society to deny him some or all rights based on his genes?"
Adolf Hitler apparently thought so. Stalin, Pol Pot, folks in the South also apparently thought so. Maybe we're seeing the beginning of a new trend. And we will feel completely justified in doing what we do.
Being judged by the community
To the person that wondered how any of us would like it if our dirty laundry was displayed for all to see, so that we might be watched and judged by the entire community.... My answer is this:
He made his own soup. Now let him eat it.
Disregarding age of the victims, this person used force to have sex not once, not twice, but three times. And these are only the times that we KNOW of. He may have many more cases where the vicitims did not come forward. He started this behavior early in life and has continued. When he was 12, his victim was 12. When he was 17 his victim was still 12. Does he prefer them that age? I don't know, but I do know that they have correctly determined that he would be likely to repeat this behavior again and would it be any better for him to rape a 30 year old, a 20 year old, or a 15 year old rather than another 12 year old?
Whose fault is it this guy is watched and judged and feared by the people of the community? HIS. He has no one to blame except himself. Every action has consequences and he's living his. There is a reason that he needs to be watched and there is a reason that people need to be notified as to his whereabouts.
And Januarygirl since you seem to not believe that people who start out as rapists and sexual predators can't turn into murderers, do you by chance remember Dru Sjodin? You obviously are involved with Rinde on some level and I hope that you aren't making a lethal mistake. How will you feel defending this guy when he gets caught for raping the next victim?
some people cannot be helped...
It would be hard to diagnose a specific issue this man has and make it something we can cure. As human beings we all look for a reason for everything, something that doesn't make sense or have a reason is hard for us too understand. I don't know of any ideas that will work, but we have gotten soft on making the punishment fit the crime. Everything being so public these days makes it hard to fix someone's problems, and too seek the needed help. He probably won't be able too get a job or live normally, but yes he did make his own choices. Maybe there should be a place too help people like this and see if they are genuinely a threat, only then with a place like that could we answer all the "what if's"
