John Wade Adams - Repeat Sex Offender

“Nine years ago Mr. Adams committed a sexual crime against a child and now he has re-offended and did great damage to another victim. This time Macon County will be safe from him for at least 28 years."
A registered sex offender was convicted and sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to two felonies of statutory sexual offense and taking indecent liberties with a minor.

John Wade Adams, 29, was sentenced to a minimum of 28 years and a maximum of 34 years, 7 months in prison.

The crime occurred on April 13, 2007. The victim was six years old at the time. The child told her mother, and Adams was arrested on April 30, 2007

Adams was previously convicted in 1999 for taking indecent liberties with a child.

"This case demonstrates why it is the policy of my office to seek long prison sentences for child molesters,” said District Attorney Mike Bonfoey. “Nine years ago Mr. Adams committed a sexual crime against a child and now he has re-offended and did great damage to another victim. This time Macon County will be safe from him for at least 28 years."

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