A registered sex offender prosecutors say was behind a bogus amber alert a few years ago is under arrest again.
Connor Izard, 26, is charged with predatory sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl. Police say he first started talking to the girl online. They say Izard asked to meet her, knowing she was underage. The victim told police Izard drove to her neighborhood to pick her up, took her to an isolated location, and subjected her to sexual activity.
Izard is on parole for having sexual contact with a 16-year-old girl in 2005. The girl was the subject of a nationwide amber alert at the time. Investigators thought she was kidnapped from her Geneva home. She and Izard were found at the Knights Inn in Liverpool. The girl had gone with him willingly. Izard was forced to register as a level one sex offender at the time.
Izard was arraigned in Town of Otisco Court Tuesday afternoon in the latest case. He is being held without bail at the Onondaga County Justice Center.
Detectives are looking for anyone else who may have had contact with Izard. If you have any information, contact the Sheriff's Abused Person's Unit by called 435-3092.
