Authorities captured a convicted child predator in Marble Falls Tuesday, Aug. 21, after he failed to register as a sex offender in two counties, according to the U.S. Marshal's Office.
Joseph Michael Gore, 32, was added to the “Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders” list by the Texas Department of Public Safety in July.
Investigators say he failed to register as a sex offender in Tom Green County and Irion County in connection with 2013 and 2014 convictions of aggravated sexual assault of a child, age 13, and sexual assault of a child, age 16.
The task force with the assistance of DPS and the Marble Falls Police Department descended on a business that morning in the 2500 block of U.S. 281, where they found Gore.
“He was a customer there,” said Deputy U.S. Marshal Brandon Filla, who is public information officer for the task force.
