Sex offender comes to Fergus [UPDATED]
Published 11:15am Friday, January 27, 2012 Updated 2:38pm Friday, January 27, 2012A Level Three predatory offender moved to Fergus Falls on Wednesday, the Fergus Falls Police Department reported today.
Mark Anthony Rehm, 27, is living on the 600 block of First Avenue North, after he moved from Park Rapids. He is not wanted by police and has completed the sentence for his crimes. 
Rehm, 27, was convicted in 2001 for first degree criminal sexual conduct in Otter Tail County. Police reported that he had sexual contact with multiple female victims age four through 14. In the latter part of the last decade, Rehm was arrested multiple times for violating the terms of his release while he was still under intensive supervision.
Rehm is a white male with brown hair, hazel eyes, and a medium complexion. He weighs 203 pounds and is five feet, six inches tall.
Fergus Falls police and the state Department of Corrections will be hosting a public information meeting about Rehm on Feb. 1 at 6 p.m. in the Ottertail Lake Room of the Government Services Center.
This guy, with another guy, got a minor drunk and repeatedly raped her. One’s already back on the street. Now we get Rehm back in our town. And…He’s moving next to a little kids grade school building. WOW!
This should be a huge ?DUH?, moment for everyone.
What I don’t understand why is there no pictures so we can see what he looks like….
There is a way our justice system could stop people like him from reoffending, but we have too many bleeding hearts out there that don’t want to have that happen. They would rather there be more victims than taking out the problem once and for all.
There should be a law about that level sex offender moving by a school. I hope no little ones will be walking alone.
@ Dave Adams, you are talking about the wrong Rehm, this one was accused of intercourse with a infant, less than a year old.
I guess We probably shouldn’t assume He’s guilty of the infant accusation being as I can’t find proof of it anymore but, He was convicted of “CSC 3-NO FRC-ACQUAINT-13-15-F”
Why do we hold the mistakes of our fellow man’s against them for ever? Ya this guy did a bad thing but many of us do bad things when we drink. Then we pay!!! But we allow large corporations and Law enforcement to harm even kill our fellow man, with no-one held accountable. And its all behind doors. No wonder we take out our anger on people like this!!!!! We have no other choices.. Ya we need to keep an eye on this fellow, but shouldn’t we give him a fair chance to rebuild his life??? For those who call themselves christens, What ever happened to forgiveness??
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha…
I’ve been blitzed out of my mind and NEVER have I wanted to molest a child or even an adult that was passed out in my company. This sort of crime is inexcusable and has also proven to be untreatable. I have no idea why we let these people out into society. Something is sooo very not right when someone gets loaded up on booze and says to themselves… “Hey, I’m going to get some lovin’ from a child” IT’S A CHILD for God’s sake. If you want to get drunk and try to find someone of age (and consenting I might add) at a bar, fine. But there are very clear lines of right and wrong when it comes to abuse. You DO NOT rape ANYONE. Being drunk is absolutely no excuse. As for forgiveness? Sure, when you do something you should seek forgiveness from God but society also has a responsibility to protect the population from predators like this. He can stay behind bars and print license plates or whatever it is they do in there to keep busy. Better than out here stalking more victims.
we remember and hold the violent and destructive actions of others against them to keep our children and ourselves safe from their sickness!
Leave it up to Ms Benson, the convicted drug dealer, to publicly defend a monster like this. Probably the same old attitude…the cops had it out for him, he had a rough childhood, his parents were mean. Blah blah blah. What about the rights and safety of the children he molested? The lives he’s ruined forever because this creep couldn’t keep his zipper up. Back when people were actually punished for their crimes this problem would’ve been taken care of already, but no, he gets to move in next door to an elementary school.. A big ‘WTF??’ for our justice system on this one.
what ever happened with Marsha’s Brother “Brian Beeler”? was he convicted of making child pornography in Fergus falls or no?
there should be no forgiveness for those who prey on children to satisfy their personal sexual abnormalities! any parent who tolerates a sexual predator being around their child is remiss in their responsibilities as a parent! religion has no place in such matters!
Amen, Don! I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse; first at a babysitters when I was 4 and then a few years later by a cousin. Unfortunately at the time there was not much media attention on this terrible crime and families/schools didn’t let kids know that stuff like this shouldn’t happen. Too many people like this “man” have gotten away with this for too long and it needs to stop! The victims lives are forever altered, and not for the better. I know someone who used to work at a prison specifically for sexual offenders of all kinds. She was so sickened by the lack of remorse and the inability to “fix” their problems, that she decided to find another line of work. We need to start empowering our kids! Let them know that this behavior is unacceptable! And even if the “monster” threatens you or your family, tell someone anyways! These “people” live in the shadows, so why would they do something else that would bring their true crimes to light!
