The Austin Police Department announced on Monday that level 3 predatory offender Jayson Edwynn Beaudry, 39, has been released into Austin.

Beaudry has a history of sexual contact with female victims ages 13-14, according to the APD. Contact included penetration. Beaudry provided intoxicants to the victims and used force and threats to gain compliance. Beaudry knew the victims.

Beaudry will be residing in the 1000 block of Fourth Avenue Northeast.

Under Minnesota Statutes 244.052, the APD is authorized to inform the public of a sexual or predatory offender’s release from prison or a secure treatment facility when the APD believes the release of information will enhance public safety and protection. The notification is not intended to increase fear in the community.

The APD also wants the public to be aware Beaudry is not wanted by the police and has served the sentence imposed on him by the court. Any attempt to threaten, harass or intimidate Beaudry could result in criminal charges.

If Beaudry is seen in areas where children are present, such as parks or school zones, or engaging in criminal activity, the public is urged to call 911.
