A man set to go to trial Monday on a charge of child sex abuse was re-arrested the same day for trying to lure a teenager.
J.L. McCrary Jr., 62, of Cullman, was booked into the Morgan County Jail at 11 a.m. Monday.
Records state McCrary attempted to lure a girl under the age of 16 into a vehicle, room, house, office or other place for immoral purposes.
