A convicted sex offender in Randolph County is facing even more charges after deputies say he was babysitting for multiple families.
The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office charged 34-year-old Anthony J. Green of Asheboro with 11 counts of felony babysit by/home sex offender. He’s also charged with sex offender/child premises after he attended a social function at a playground in Ramseur. Green faces one charge of failing to report new address as a sex offender as well.
Deputies arrested Green Wednesday afternoon. He is currently at the Randolph County Jail under a $500,000 secured bond. If he is able to get out on bail, he will have to wear an electronic monitoring device.

“If you’re charged with crimes against children you certainly can’t be around kids as the part of the registration process, which is way those laws are in place to protect our children. And this guy knew that, just didn’t abide by it,” Lt. Bernie Maness with the sheriff’s office said.
Detectives with the sheriff’s office said Green and his wife babysat children on numerous occasions. Sometimes, Green was watching the children by himself. Detectives said he has babysat at least ten times for three different families. More than three children under the age of 12 were involved. None of the families knew Green was a registered sex offender, according to deputies.
“This is something that’s on paperwork, this is something that’s told face to face to each individual offender and then just common sense, you know, do you think you can babysit kids if you’re felony convicted of crimes against kids?” Lt. Maness said.

The sheriff’s office said Green’s wife does not face any charges at this time. Detectives say Green misled his wife about whether he was allowed to be around children. The couple is no longer together.
Green became a registered sex offender in 2003 after serving 17 months in prison. He was charged with first degree sex offense involving a girl under the age of 13 and felony indecent liberties with a child. He was just about to have a hearing to get off the registered sex offender list when deputies charged him.
The sheriff’s office is contacting the families who were provided the child care to determine the status of those children and if he had further contact with any other minors.
“There have been some statements by the kids that are cause for great concern. We’ve addressed that with the parents directly,” Lt. Maness said.
