The Hollywood casting agent who had worked with children on Hollywood blockbusters such as Super 8 - despite a past conviction of child abuse - was arrested on Friday on suspicion of violating the sexual offender laws.

Jason James Murphy was charged by Los Angeles prosecutors with failing to file a name change and a change of address and therefore not being listed on the Megan's Law registry despite being a convicted sex offender, reported the Los Angeles Times.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, in 1996, then-19-year-old Murphy, from Seattle, Washington, was sentenced to nearly seven years for molesting and kidnapping a young boy who he met while working as a camp counselor.
