Sheriff’s deputies arrested a convicted sex offender Monday after he was accused of touching a child inappropriately at a hospital.

A two-year-old girl’s mother told investigators that Leonardo Jesus Valencia fondled the girl while they were at Baptist DeSoto Hospital. Valencia is a related to the child’s father.

Valencia, who was convicted of preying on a California child in 1998, failed to update his registration on the sex offenders list with the county, according to investigators. They say Valencia moved from Marshall County and was living in Walls at the time of the most recent alleged event.

In Mississippi, sex offenders are required to notify law enforcement of a change in address within 10 days.
