Department of Corrections warns of high-risk offender release

Man with burglary, sexual offenses set to be released in Sioux Falls

The Department of Corrections is warning the public about the release of a convict who is deemed to be at high risk for reoffending.

Richie Desersa is scheduled to be released from prison on Dec. 3.

“Based on the assessments we conduct during incarceration, as well as his criminal history, including prior sex offenses, offender Desersa is considered to be high-risk for committing additional violent acts in the future,” said Secretary of Corrections Nick Lamb. “I am issuing this alert to let law enforcement and the public know about his release.”
