Seth K. Hudson - Repeat Sex Offender - Molested 8 year old after learning his lesson the first time

A registered sex offender was arrested Wednesday and charged with capital sexual battery and lewd or lascivious battery on an 8-year-old girl, according to authorities.

On July 10, the Sheriff’s Office received a report that 58-year-old Seth K. Hudson had abused a little girl.

The victim on Wednesday told officials Hudson molested her and promised to give her candy afterwards.

Officials believe more than one offense was committed between Feb. 1 and May 31.

Hudson was interviewed by Detective Owen Confessore on Wednesday and denied abusing the girl, saying he learned his lesson the last time he molested someone.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Web site notes that Hudson is a registered sexual offender and was adjudicated guilty in 1997 in Marion County for sexual battery/coercion on a child by an adult.

Hudson was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
