Hernando County law enforcement announced the arrest of Harry Dewayne Condo, 46, on January 10 after detectives said they documented videos and communications tied to several social-media accounts and an email address that was connected to his phone number. Condo, who was convicted in 2002 of lewd or lascivious conduct involving a minor and is subject to Florida’s sexual-offender registration requirements, was booked on multiple counts for allegedly failing to report required internet identifiers.

According to the sheriff’s office, detectives identified several online accounts that were not listed on Condo’s registration. Officers confronted Condo during the investigation and he reportedly admitted that one of the accounts was his. He was charged with two counts of failing to report an internet identifier within 48 hours and one count of knowingly providing false registration information. Authorities booked him and held him without bond.

The investigation timeline provided by the sheriff’s office links the alleged online activity to recent observations of videos and communications on the identified accounts. Prosecutors say the timing of reporting obligations under state law is central to the charges: registered individuals must disclose internet identifiers promptly, and failing to do so or providing false information can trigger criminal charges. The sheriff’s office has framed the arrest as enforcement of those statutory duties.

For local residents, the arrest underscores how online activity intersects with public-safety monitoring and the registry system. Compliance with reporting requirements is intended to give law enforcement tools to trace online contacts and digital behavior that may pose risks to children and other vulnerable people. The sheriff’s office action also signals ongoing attention to registration accuracy within Hernando County.

The case is now in the judicial process and will proceed through the courts. Residents with concerns about registered offenders or suspicious online behavior are encouraged to contact the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office so investigators can assess potential violations and protect community safety.
