NC- Deputies Charge Sex Offender; Had Social Networking Web Site

5-23-2009 North Carolina:

Deputies have charged a registered sex offender with more charges after authorities discovered he had an account on a social networking web site.

Christopher Rossio was arrested on two counts of 3rd degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Lenoir County deputies say the charges came after a five month investigation after they got a complaint Rossio had the online account. Deputies say they found that Rossio had used a false name for the networking site.

Strange, the account seems to be in his REAL name, unless "Christopher Rossio" is not his real name.

Rossio, who's been on the sex registry since 2007, is in the Lenoir County jail on a $250,000 bond.

The sex offender website says Rossio, whose last address was in Grifton, was convicted in 2006 on two counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He served 18 months in prison.

Deputies say additional charges are pending. ..News Source.. by WITN.com
