PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — A 50-year-old convicted sex offender living in western Kentucky has been arrested after being accused of using Facebook.
Paducah detective Justin Hodges tells local news outlets that he received information that Nathan A. Dukes was violating his probation by operating a Facebook page under a false name.
Dukes was convicted in 2012 of using electronics to procure a minor for sex. He was also convicted in 2013 of possessing material portraying a sexual performance by a minor.
Dukes was arrested Tuesday and charged with using instant messaging, chat or a social network by a convicted sex offender. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.
