"25% of all sex offenders re-offend within 15 years"

A 40-year-old convicted sex offender will be spending the next 20 years in prison for a crime a judge called "eerily similar" to an assault that landed him behind bars in 1994.

Daniel A. Mahnke, 40, was found guilty by a jury in February of second-degree sexual assault of a child under 16, exposing a child to harmful materials and a misdemeanor offense of fourth-degree sexual assault.


On Friday, Circuit Court Judge Lee S. Dreyfus Jr. sentenced Mahnke to 20 years of incarceration and 15 years on extended supervision, calling him a danger to other people and to members of his own family.

Mahnke served more than four years of a 10-year prison term from 1994 to 1998 for assaulting a 14-year-old girl who was babysitting his girlfriend's children.
