SAN DIEGO – A convicted sex offender recently deported to Mexico was arrested after he illegally crossed back into the United States, a spokesman with the Border Patrol said Thursday.
The 47-year-old man was caught Wednesday about 9:30 a.m. in the backcountry near Jacumba, the spokesman said.
He was among a group of 11 illegal immigrants from Mexico who were also taken into custody.
The man was convicted of committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14 and served a three-year prison sentence in California, according to official records.
He will now face criminal prosecution for re-entering the country, according to the Border Patrol.
