NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A convicted repeat sex offender has been arrested again for videoing a teen girl in a restroom stall Friday in downtown Nashville, according to Metro police.
James Josey III, 34, was allegedly caught videoing a 16-year-old girl in the women’s restroom at Hard Rock Café on Broadway. He was confronted by restaurant patrons and held until officers arrived at the scene, reports said.
During an interview with police, Josey allegedly stated he recorded women in the restroom for “sexual gratification.”
He was charged with invasion of privacy and disorderly conduct, but was released after posting a $6,000 bond.
News 2 previously reported on Josey in April 2022, when he was reportedly charged with using a cellphone to video female victims aged 2, 5, 9 and 34 in the women’s restroom at Whataburger in Hermitage. He was convicted of a misdemeanor and sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail, according to Metro police.
Prior to the incident in 2022, Josey became a registered sex offender in 2015 after committing similar offenses in Knoxville.
