A convicted sex offender is charged with rape and felony sexual assault for molesting his girlfriend’s 5-year-old son.
The Daily Inter Lake reports 41-year-old Jason D. Franks was arrested in Missoula on Tuesday for failing to register as a sex offender.
Flathead County prosecutors filed charges against Franks on Tuesday for alleged sexual contact with a boy that began in 2009 when the boy was 4.
Court records say Franks moved in with a Kalispell woman and her two boys in August 2009. The woman went to police in April after her 7-year-old son accused Franks of having sexual contact with his younger brother while she was at work.
Franks had been convicted of having sex with an underage girl in 1993.
