Investigators alert community about sex offender - KTTC Rochester, Austin, Mason City News, Weather and Sports

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Investigators are asking parents to be on alert for a level three sex offender who is considered a threat to the community.

Brian Broulik was recently rearrested for possession of child pornography.

After being taken into custody, he immediately paid $12,500 in bond, enough to get him out on his required $125,000 bail and was released.

"This individual is a threat to our community and it's somebody that we would certainly like to strip away his anonymity so that he is not out there able to re-victimize anybody else," said Sgt. Tom Claymon, with the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office.

Broulik is believed to be living somewhere in the Rochester area.

He has a history of sexual contact with young boys between the ages of four and nine.

Broulik did not know one of his victims, but did know the others.

His last registered address was on 29th Avenue Southeast in rural Blooming Prairie.

Deputies believe he has been living in Rochester and working at Seneca Foods.

"They have to register where they're living as long as they're registered with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension," said Detective Rob Studer, with the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office.

If you have any information on where Broulik may be living in Rochester, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
