Alleged Worthington child creeper off the hook

614now Staff

Update: The Worthington man arrested for alleged child enticement Monday has been let off the hook. Evidently, according to 10tv, child enticement laws are too vague to enforce.

Jonathan Ringel was added to the registered sex offender list in Virginia but the parole board allowed him to move to Ohio.

The only way Ringel could find himself behind bars is if his parole officers in both Ohio and Virginia find that he violated parole. He’d then be taken back to Virginia to serve a sentence.


08/16/2017 11:20am- The smiling man in the picture you see is Jonathan Ringel, 25, of Annagladys Court..The man allegedly behind the multiple incidents of child enticements in his hometown.

Ringel is a registered sex offender, according to thisweeknews.com per the sex-offender database. He’s been convicted for two counts of “taking indecent liberties with minors” and one count of child porn possession in past years. He’s also been known to touch himself in front of children and even expose himself in their presence.

He was arraigned today in Franklin County Municipal Court on a charge of criminal child enticement of a minor.

Two young girls reported a man approaching them and attempting to lure them into his car on Sunday. The girls fled and alerted their parents. A neighboring family reported a similar incident happening back in July.

Both reports involve a white man in his 30s driving a gray hatchback vehicle.
