Vigilant Antis: Brian Corringham - Repeat Sex Offender - Escaped the Registry and Struck Again

Corringham was convicted in the late 1970s and early 1980s of a series of offenses involving kidnapping and molesting young boys, police said. In 1979, he was convicted of molesting a young boy at gunpoint in Nassau County, N.Y.

A 55-year-old convicted sex offender was charged on a warrant with multiple sex crimes involving minors Wednesday at Norwalk Superior Court.

Brian Corringham, a former Norwalk man who is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence for violating the conditions of his probation, was charged with three counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and three counts of risk of injury to a minor. His next court date is June 22.

Information on Corringham's recent arrest was scant because his warrant is sealed for 14 days to protect the identity of the victim.

According to court files, the charges against Corringham stem from a series of incidents that occurred from May through June in 2009.

The incident dates for the Norwalk charges reveal the incident occurred within roughly the same time-frame as charges filed by Shelton Police against Corringham.

Corringham was arrested by Shelton Police in August 2009 for trying to touch a 15-year-old boy in a sexual manner, police said. The teen's parents had alerted police to the inappropriate relationship because they found it odd that their son was hanging out with an older man -- sometimes at the man's apartment, police said. The teen later told police that Corringham had tried to touch him, police said.

Although he had a series of convictions for sex offenses prior to his August 2009 arrest, Corringham never had to register as a sex offender.

Corringham had been arrested in 2006 by Shelton Police for accosting a group of teenagers at a local park, police said. He told the teens that he would pay them if they jumped into the water and allowed him to photograph them, according to police.

For that offense, Corringham was convicted of risk of injury to a minor and given three years of probation and a five-year suspended prison sentence, court records show.

He was arrested in June 2009 for violating his probation after police found thousands of images of adult pornography on his computer.
