EAST COUNTY — A convicted child molester was arrested Thursday after he illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border near Jacumba, federal authorities said Monday.

Border Patrol agents encountered the 49-year-old man along with two other undocumented Mexicans about 11 a.m., officials said. The trio were taken to a nearby Border Patrol station, where agents learned the man had served prison time after being convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child in Orange in 1996. The man had been deported in 2005.

The man, whose name was not released, faces a charge of felony re-entry after deportation, the Border Patrol said.
