SEGUIN – The Texas Attorney General’s Office says Jesse Clay Scott used the social networking Website MySpace in violation of his parole conditions. The Seguin man was arrested on Jan. 27.
In a written statement, Attorney General Greg Abbott said. “Despite his release conditions, the subject in this case repeatedly used his personal computer and cellular telephone to access a MySpace.com profile.”
Scott was paroled in 2008 after serving five-and-a-half years in prison. He was convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Bexar County.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles frequently prohibits paroled sex offenders from using the Internet. Despite that prohibition, investigators with the Office of the Attorney General discovered that Scott established an online MySpace account.
The Attorney General’s Office urges parents to supervise their children’s online activities. Attorney General Abbott General is also pushing for legislation to supplement existing sex offender registration requirements by also requiring sexual predators to register their e-mail addresses, mobile telephone numbers, social networking aliases, and other electronic identification information.
The Texas Attorney General's Office says this is Scott's MySpace Web page.
