Dunn was arrested again in May of 2015 when he went to a residence on Emily Street in Monticello to meet a 15-year-old boy that he had solicited for sex on Facebook, officials say.
The 15-year-old turned out to be an undercover deputy sheriff.

Dunn was already labeled a Level-2 sex offender at the time of his 2015 arrested. As a result of that incident, Dunn served 3 years in state prison and is currently on 15 years of parole.
After his 2015 arrested Dunn was labeled as a Level-3 sex offender and considered a "Sexual Predator," on the New York State Sex Offender's database.
In Thursday’s arrest, charges were filed by both the Liberty Police and the Sheriff’s Office. He was arraigned before Liberty Town Justice Harold Bauman and sent to the Sullivan County Jail without bail. State Parole officers have also lodged a warrant against Dunn alleging a violation of parole.
Dunn is labeled as a Level-3 sex offender and considered a "Sexual Predator."
"Law enforcement has a difficult job when it comes to keeping track of sex offenders that have been released into our communities," Sullivan County Sheriff Mike Schiff stated.
Level-3 sex offenders are considered to have the highest risk of a repeat offense and are considered the greatest risk to the public. Level-2 sex offenders have a medium risk of a repeat offense.
