Sexual offender captured in Cambodia

A sexual offender who has been wanted by law enforcement for nearly six years, and was formerly registered in Wakulla County, was captured in Cambodia with the help of the Cambodian government, according to Wakulla County Sheriff Donnie Crum. James William Alday, 44, formerly of Crawfordville, is being detained at the Cambodian Consulate pending his return to the United States. The WCSO was contacted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about the case on Monday, Oct. 8. Alday’s Visa was suspended by the Southeast Asian government when it discovered that Alday absconded as a sexual offender in January 2007. Alday was required to register his place of residence within Wakulla County or any other location and had failed to do so when he left the country. FBI officials reported that Alday was living in Vietnam and working as a teacher. Alday is scheduled to be flown back to the United States within a week where he will be picked up by WCSO officials in Atlanta. Florida Statute requires a sexual offender who intends to establish a residence in another jurisdiction to report to the sheriff of the county within 48 hours before the date he intends to leave the jurisdiction. The sexual offender must give the new address of the intended residence and Alday failed to do so. He was originally arrested in Leon County in 1994 for a sexual battery on a child under age 12.
