James Ford - Repeat Sex Offender - Refuses to comply

Since 1993, he's been arrested more than two dozen times in Louisville.

Back in 2003, police say he sexually abused three young girls, who were 9-years-old, 10-years-old and 11-years-old at the time.

The man accused of trying to lure teen boys by offering them jobs is now charged with not complying with the sex offender registry.

James Ford was arrested on Sunday for the charge.

Police say he had not updated his address on the registry.

The New Albany man has been arrested more than 20 times in the past.

Last year he was arrested after police say he tried to lure teen boys with jobs at Waffle House.

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

"On average most sex offenders are never caught again for a new sex offense, after five years, between 10 and 15 percent of sex offenders are detected, often convicted, of committing a new sex offense. If you follow them for ten years the rates go up somewhat, if you follow them as long as we’ve been able to follow them, which is about 20 years, the rates go up to somewhere between 30 to 40 percent of the total sample will eventually be caught for a new sex offense."
