Sex Offender arrested in St. Johns County

Deputies in St. Johns County have arrested a 37-year-old man for sexual battery.

Matthew Braddock is now jailed on a $250,000 bond.

"Mr. Braddock has currently been charged with a sexual battery on a victim over the age of 12," says Sgt. Chuck Mulligan. "So, certainly it's a serious sexual battery type crime."

Mulligan says Braddock is a registered sex offender who was released from prison in 2009.
