A registered North Liberty sex offender is accused of having dozens of online accounts…a violation of the Iowa sex offender registry.

38-year-old Luke Curry of West Cherry Street was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 5:15 Tuesday night.  The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office says the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a tip that Curry had 31 different social media identities, including accounts on Reddit, Tinder, and 17 Google accounts. Investigators say they confirmed the allegations after seizing Curry’s cellphone.

Curry faces eight Sex Offender Registry Violations. If convicted on all counts, he faces a maximum of 16 years in prison.

Curry was convicted on two Indecent Exposure charges in 2018 after North Liberty Police say he was caught masturbating in his car outside Fareway on Highway 965.
