A registered sex offender residing in Coffee County was jailed by sheriff’s investigators Tuesday after failing to comply with the requirements of his sex offender status.
50-year-old Randy Flanagan was convicted of sexual exploitation of a child in Turner County, Ga. following a 2006 incident. He was subsequently released from incarceration in 2011, but served another sentence for failing to register as a sex offender between 2013 and 2016.
Flanagan had registered his most recent address at a residence on Madison Ave. in Douglas, but Coffee County detectives learned he had moved from that address nearly a month ago without informing authorities.
As part of his registered sex offender status, Flanagan is required to register with the sheriff’s office and report any changes such as addresses, jobs, vehicles, and telephone numbers within 72 hours of the changes.
Flanagan is charged with one count of failing to register as a sex offender.
