LEWISTON – Convicted sex offender Jeremy McCown will likely appear in court this week to face a charge of probation violation, Probation and Parole Officer Mike Simoneau said on Monday.
McCown was convicted three years ago of kidnapping after he pulled a 13-year-old Lewiston girl into his car as she walked to school.
In that case, McCown was also accused of attempting to lure two other girls into his car, also on their way to Lewiston Middle School. McCown was caught by Lewiston police when all three girls identified McCown and his vehicle.
McCown was sentenced to three consecutive one-year terms of probation, according to Simoneau. However, McCown violated his first probation term last year when he was caught by police sexually harassing girls at Wal-Mart in Auburn. Though the exact details of the event are unclear, Simoneau said that McCown slid something up the skirt of one girl and may have been attempting to take photographs.
McCown served six months in the Androscoggin County Jail for the violation of his probation.
McCown was arrested again last Friday, according to Lewiston Police Sgt. Dan Lachance on another probation violation charge.
Simoneau said McCown was found with child pornography on his home computer.
The investigation into that was ongoing as of Monday night.
Though the court has not confirmed an initial appearance date, Simoneau said that McCown will probably appear in court by the end of the week.
