Theron Russell Inman - Repeat Sex Offender - Got off too easy the first time

A Jacksonville man arrested Thursday on a sex offense charge was previously convicted of 10 counts of indecent liberties with a child between 2004 and 2006, according to the North Carolina Department of Correction. He was also convicted of possession of drug paraphernalia in 2008.

Theron Russell Inman, 20, of Providence road, was charged by the Jacksonville Police Department Thursday with second degree sex offense on claims that he engaged in a sex offense with a woman by force and against her will, according to warrants.

The Police Department could not release any more information than was on the warrant, Deputy Chief Paul Spring said.

According to the North Carolina Sex Offender Registry, Inman’s address was verified in March to be 215 Harris Creek Road. The warrant listed a Providence road address.

Inman was registered as a sex offender Aug. 29, 2007 when he was convicted of indecent liberties with a minor and sentenced to five years probation, according to the registry.

Bond was set at $100,000.
