Warren police arrest a man for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old. 

Marcus D. Hemmingway, 22, was booked into the Trumbull County Jail on a charge of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor on Tuesday.

The victim's mother learned about the encounter after discovering text messages between the suspect and her daughter.

It's the second time he's accused of committing this offense.

"He's definitely- in my opinion- a sexual predator," Nick Carney, detective with the Warren police department. "If you don't learn your lesson, you know the first time, then you continue to do this type of actions, or repeat these type of actions knowing full well that what you're doing is illegal."

Carney says Hemmingway was released from prison in October of 2017 after serving time for the same charge stemming from a similar crime in 2016.

Hemmingway was convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, which is a felony of the 4th degree.

That incident involved a 13-year-old victim.

Carney says he's admitted to both incidents.
