A registered sex offender who was released from jail last year is already back behind bars.
Julian Sims, 28, of Yazoo City, is charged with statutory rape and sexual battery.
Sims, who was 27 years old at the time of the crime, has been in trouble numerous times before with sexual crimes against juveniles.
“He was just released out of jail last year on similar charges,” said Cpt. Tilmon Clifton. “This arrest involved a 13-year-old juvenile. He had sexual intercourse with this juvenile.”
Clifton said the parents of the victim made a report to police officers after they discovered the relationship between Sims and their child.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
