Sex Offender Held in Princeton

By Jacque Day

Princeton, Ky. – A registered sex offender faces new charges after an online sex sting. Princeton Detectives charged 46-year-old Jasper Elmer Jennings, Jr., of Frankfort Tuesday with attempting to procure sex from a minor. The Paducah police had also issued a warrant on similar charges. Princeton police obtained warrants for Jennings in 2009. He allegedly engaged in sexually explicit online conversations, and transmitted explicit images with police detectives posing as a 15-year-old girl. Franklin County authorities recently arrested Jennings on the Princeton and Paducah warrants, and discovered he had outstanding warrants in Fayette County. Jennings is held on $50,000 cash bond in the Caldwell County Jail.
