City and County Buy into Nexus Lies. NEXUS exposed!

Mille Lacs News Staff Writer

On November 14, 2007, former Nexus CEO Jim D'Angelo presented a handout at the Onamia city council "public hearing" on tax abatement. While it's unusual for Nexus to be giving rather than begging for handouts, copies of the four-page document, titled  "Mille Lacs Academy Fact Sheet", were distributed among citizens at the meeting. To view a copy in its entirety, click here.

We've found a few "facts" to dispute in this little brochure and dispute them we will. Our comments are in red.  Please take the time to read this!

The first page begins with

"Safety"

"People may have been led to believe that Mille Lacs Academy residents are dangerous, aggressive pedophiles. (Pedophiles? Who said anything about pedophiles?) That just isn't the case. The typical adolescent sent to the Academy is from rural Minnesota and has been sexually inappropriate with a younger or same age member of his family. Seduction and manipulation is common, physical aggression is not." (That may or may not be typical, but MLA has historically had violent, aggressive convicts and may have them in the future. It only takes one to create a permanent, irreversible disaster in a victim's life.)

"The youth at Mille Lacs Academy are receiving treatment and learning how to understand and change their behavior. They are not locked in the facility because they are not felt by referral sources or us to be a danger." (Some of these "youth" are over 6 foot tall and weigh over 200 pounds. Some have been diagnosed as dangerous 'sexual psychopaths' by the court that convicted them. Also, besides receiving treatment at the Academy, the "youth" are used in research. Notice that Nexus doesn't mention this.)

Examples of Mille Lacs Academy sex offender court cases

	Paul John Knutson
	Larry Black
	D.S.M.
	J.K.
	Hoium

These cases illustrate the violence these "kids" are capable of. Level 3 sex offenders and sexual psychopaths have been in MLA programs before and may be in the future.

"Even so, safety is of paramount concern to us; we provide virtually constant supervision. [If they are not dangerous, why is safety such a 'paramount concern' and why do the sex offenders need 'constant supervision'?]

"As a result, in the last decade, we have had only one incident, a youth stealing a car while on run from the campus. He did not harm anyone and returned to the program the same day."

If Nexus' claim is true, it directly refutes both the Mille Lacs County Sheriff's reports as well as the Onamia Chief of Police, who provided the Mille Lacs News with not 1 single incident but 389! Such a discrepancy could hardly be an oversight! Nexus said:

"During the past five years, we've had no incidents..."

In the past five years, according to law enforcement, there have been: 43 runaways, 11 assaults, 2 burglary/break-ins, 3 criminal damage to property, 4 disorderly conduct, 1 criminal sex, 4 fights, 2 indecent exposures, and 5 out of control juveniles.

These are reports of 911 calls which required police response, (sometimes by multiple deputies). The figures do not include unreported incidents handled in-house by MLA staff which did not require officers to contain the situation. Why would Nexus lie to us about their safety record in our community? Well... it worked. They got their tax abatement, didn't they?

"During the past five years, we've had no incidents..."

Nexus reported 1/389

Concern for the sex offenders may seem benevolent, but where is the compassion for their victims and concern for possible future victims? The little ones at the daycare centers need to be protected. Nexus lies put children's safety at risk.

Meet Paul

The court has labeled Paul as a "sexually dangerous person". He is a "sexual psychopath". He is a Level III offender. He has many, many victims- both male and female.

Paul used to be our neighbor at Mille Lacs Academy in Onamia.

Jim D'Angelo said these "boys" aren't dangerous.

John Varner said these "boys" aren't violent.

Jerome Kryzer said these "boys" aren't sex offenders.

Steve Bye said, "They're well-behaved in church."

Tell that to the fourteen year old girl Paul raped.

Tell that to the seven year old boy Paul threatened to kill, after forcing oral sex on him.

Try telling that to us!

But be advised:

We're on to you!

Meet Sondra

Minnesota State Representative Sondra Erickson has helped put convicted sex offenders -like Paul- next to daycare, elderly widows and disabled people. What kind of person would do such a thing?

Don't vote for Sondra in November. Show her we won't take this crap anymore.

You have no right to ruin our area.

Keep your sex offenders if you must, but keep them on YOUR side of the river!

Keep OUR kids safe!
