DAYTON, Ohio -- A registered sex offender, convicted of raping a child, is now accused of trying to lure a girl.

Police said the man tried to entice an 11-year-old girl as she was walking home, but she managed to get away. He is now in jail.

According to the Department of Corrections, 59-year-old Ronald Brown was convicted of rape and gross sexual imposition in 1983. He was paroled in 2004, but now he is back in jail.

Police said Brown asked the girl to help him look for a missing ring, but when she said no and started to run, Brown tried to grab her.

On Tuesday, Brown was charged with one count of criminal child enticement after the young victim identified him as the perpetrator. He was identified from a sex offender flier that was handed out in the child’s neighborhood.

Brown appeared in court and his bond was set at $50,000.
