Kinston man arrested on sex offense charges
A 42-year-old Kinston man has been arrested on sex offense charges against a 13-year-old girl.
On Sept. 3, the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office received information from a concerned parent about alleged inappropriate behavior between an adult male and a juvenile female. The LCSO investigation led the agency to press charges against Virgil Todd Chase for attempted statutory sex and indecent liberties with a minor.
Today, the Duplin County Sheriff’s Office assisted the LCSO with serving the warrants on Chase in Duplin County. Chase is currently in the Lenoir County Jail on a secured bond.
