JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested 59 registered sexual offenders and predators this summer for violating the terms of their release, the agency announced Tuesday.

During the operation, JSO said detectives logged more than 230 man-hours and carried out 535 checks on registered offenders and predators across Jacksonville.
