Parent in Lee Co. helps law enforcement catch possible predator
LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A parent paying attention in Lee County helped law enforcement catch a possible predator in DeSoto County.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a possible enticement of a child.
A man had allegedly reached out to a child over a game app and attempted to coerce the child to send him pornographic pictures.
The child’s mother reported the attempt.
The investigation led law enforcement to 48-year-old Jason Reese of Olive Branch.
Reese is a registered sex offender who was convicted of exploitation of a child in 2018.
He was arrested Wednesday by the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office.
Reese is now charged with enticement of a child in Lee County.
His bond is set at $150,000.
