A 60-year-old Fairfield man with a history of sex offender registration violations was arrested Saturday night on another charge of failing to register as required by Illinois law.
Jesse O. Hedden of Fairfield was taken into custody and booked into the Wayne County Jail late Saturday night.
According to records, Hedden has previously been cited four times for failing to comply with registration requirements under the Illinois Sex Offender Registration Act.
Hedden is required to register as a sex offender following a previous conviction for aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving harm. Court records indicate the victim in that case was 35 years old at the time.
Records also show Hedden’s most recently reported address before returning to Fairfield was in Waukegan, Illinois.
