(KAIR)--A registered sex offender is accused of committing another sex crime in Atchison County.

Sheriff Jack Laurie says 18-year-old Taylor James Sutton, of Effingham, was arrested following an investigation by the Sheriff's Office, after the alleged crime was reported Thursday. “We had a parent bring in their child,” Laurie told MSC News. “The 14-year-old female had apparently reported to the parent, and the parents were obviously concerned, so they brought her into the Sheriff's Office to speak about the incident.”

Laurie says Sutton and the 14-year-old girl knew each other prior to the time the alleged crimes occurred. “They were familiar with each other,” Laurie said. “It was a friendship, I guess.”

Following his arrest, Sutton was booked into the Atchison County Jail on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

According to online records, Sutton has been a registered sex offender since late 2014. That followed his conviction on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child dating back to 2013.
