"25% of all sex offenders re-offend within 15 years".........Sarah Tofte
A 33-year-old convicted sex offender who police say tried to entice a 7-year-old boy inside a Capitol Hill grocery store earlier this month has been charged with attempted luring in King County Superior Court.
Police say Henry Richard Newell approached the boy who was with his father inside a supermarket in the 1400 block of Broadway on April 2. While the boy's father was a few feet away talking to a salesperson, Newell walked up to the boy and said, "Come with me," according to charging documents.
The alleged incident was captured on the store's camera, the documents say. Newell left the store when he realized the boy's father was nearby. He was arrested when he returned to the store two days later and an employee called 911, according to police.
Newell, who is homeless, has a prior felony conviction in Oregon for raping an 11-year-old girl and is a registered sex offender, according to the documents. He is being held in King County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned May 7.
