Convicted Sex Offender Arrested In North Escambia
October 15, 2009
A convicted sex offender was arrested in North Escambia Wednesday for failing to properly register with the state.
Jerome Lydell Anderson, 31, of Century, was arrested by an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy on Pond Street in Century Wednesday morning on an outstanding warrant for failing to register as a sex offender.
Anderson was found guilty in August 2005 of the lewd or lascivious molestation of a victim 12-15 years old in Escambia County. He was sentenced to 35.7 months in state prison with credit for time previously served, according to court records. He was released from state prison on July 8, 2007, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
A warrant was issued for his arrest after he was listed as absconded — no longer residing at the last reported address given to the Florida Sexual Offender Registry. Sex offenders in Florida are required to notify the state of their most current address.
Anderson is being held in the Escambia County Jail on $2,500 bond.

We citizens need to demonstrate our outrage over the neglect by the legal system to protect innocent children. Please vocalize your complaints to the proper authorities!
35 months? You have to be kidding!!!!!!!! Do the courts have ANY idea the life-long agony that this kind of abuse puts a child through? Do they not care that around 95% re-offend 24 to 48 hrs. after release from prison? Somebody has to WAKE THE JUDGES UP!!!!
