Authorities are trying to find a Level 3 sex offender wanted in Dakota County on charges that he raped and impregnated a preteen girl with diminished mental capacity.
South St. Paul police said late last week that Christopher Donald Lee Blair, 35, was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with "Blair" on the back. Investigators believe Blair may be driving a 2015 silver Ford Fiesta with Minnesota license plate 115 TGV.
"Blair is known to carry weapons," a statement from police read. "Do not approach."
Blair is described as white, 6 foot 1 and 212 pounds, with blue eyes, brown hair and possibly facial hair.
He was released from prison in April 2015 and was registered as a Level 3 offender living in South St. Paul near Bryant Avenue and Concord Street N., according to the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Level 3 offenders are considered the most likely to reoffend.
Blair has a history of kidnapping women he does not know after approaching them in public places, according to state corrections officials. He has used a weapon to gain compliance.
Blair was charged last week with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with allegations that in September he raped and impregnated a South St. Paul girl who is now 12 years old.
The criminal complaint described the girl as having "special needs and [who] makes bad decisions."
