Already facing 13 counts of sexual abuse of children after authorities allegedly discovered "in excess of 10 images, files that depicted" child pornography on six cell phones in his possession in August, Jeffrey Scott Spong, 50, of 86 Park Drive, Jersey Shore, now faces a charge of failing to register with state police, according to an affidavit.
The new charge stems from the fact that the number of one of his Spong, a "sexually violent predator," was allegedly not registered with authorities as is required under the designation.
Spong allegedly stated that he had had the phone for 10 days, and acknowledged knowing he should have registered the new number within three days, court documents said.
Spong was arraigned before District Judge Denise Dieter, and jailed in lieu of $150,000.
