A man who was allegedly caught in the act of a child sexual offense with a minor will appear in court to file a plea this November.

La Vergne Police reported in February that John E. Lamb III was caught in the act with the young child by a relative. When that relative called 911, Lamb left the scene on foot and was later tracked down by authorities and captured.
