New charges sends sex offender back to jail

A convicted sex offender is back in Sullivan County Jail after anonymous complaints led to new charges that he engaged in sex acts with young acquaintances, the sheriff's office said.

Anthony LaMantia, 56, of Liberty, is charged with sexually forcing himself upon a young boy and girl. The alleged acts happened between 1998 and 2001, and started when the kids were only 10 years old. LaMantia has been charged with two counts of sodomy and two counts of sexual abuse against a child, all felonies. He was sent to jail without bail.
