Former local newsman and registered sex offender Jim Renick was arrested at the University of Notre Dame where he was taking pictures during a swim meet on Friday.
				WSBT-TV 22, a CBS affiliate in Mishawaka, Ind., reported Renick was charged with a felony for unlawful entry by a serious sex offender.
				Renick, according to the report, was at Rolf&rsquo;s Aquatic Center at Notre Dame when people noticed him acting suspiciously. Officials discovered he was a registered sex offender in Indiana.
				&ldquo;Notre Dame police officers were made aware Friday, January 24, of an individual in the spectators&rsquo; section of the Rolfs Aquatics Center taking photos of swimmers in an invitational meet. This individual has no affiliation with Notre Dame and does not reside in this part of the state,&rdquo; according to a statement from the University of Notre Dame as reported by WSBT-TV.
				Officers told the television station registered sex offenders are prohibited from living within 1,000 feet of a school but universities are not included in that category.
				The television station reported Renick is facing the felony charge is because a certified daycare is on Notre Dame&rsquo;s campus.
				Renick, a former news reporter for WNEP-TV Channel 16, pleaded guilty in 1995 to indecent assault, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children. He was sentenced to three to six years in prison at the time.
				The case involved Renick fondling a boy, then 12, and photographing the child and another boy wearing tight-fitting swimsuits while in suggestive poses, according to the Times Leader archives.
