Repeat Offender Sentenced to 12.5 Years | Duluth News

A 41-year-old man, Michael Hanson, just received a 12.5-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting a young girl over two years — a crime that left her deeply traumatized. This isn’t his first rodeo: he previously pleaded guilty to a similar charge as a teen, served time, and later violated probation. More recently, he was caught in violent public attacks, including pushing a woman down an escalator. Despite pleading guilty to three new assault charges and already serving time, he failed to complete rehab and ended up back in jail. Prosecutors say this harsh sentence sends a clear message: repeat offenders won’t be let off easy — and the community deserves accountability.
