Dwight David Watson - Repeat Sex Offender - As usual

A convicted sex offender has been charged with taking indecent liberties with two girls.

Dwight David Watson, 50, of 161 Lewis Lane in Thomasville, is charged with two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child, according to a news release today from the Davidson County Sheriff's Office. Watson was held in jail on a $100,000 bond.

In September, the sheriff's office received a report of the inappropriate touching of two female juveniles, according to the release. The offenses were to have occurred between January and December 2006. Watson later turned himself in to authorities on the charges. The sheriff's office did not state how Watson knew the girls.

Watson was convicted in Forsyth County in 1991 of attempted sexual offense and taking indecent liberties with a child, according to Department of Correction records. He was sentenced to a maximum 18 years in prison and later released in July 1997.
