The actor was arrested in 2003 after he was caught in possession of child pornography and for employing a 14-year-old boy to pose for pornographic photographs.
The possession of child pornography charge against him was dropped after the actor pleaded no contest to inducing a minor to pose for sexually explicit photographs. He was sentenced to five years' probation and told he had to register as a sex offender every year.
But Jones failed to update the register on his 63rd birthday in September (09) and he has since been arrested for not keeping his status updated. He was taken into custody last week (ends25Jun10) and later freed on $20,000 (£13,330) bail, according to TMZ.com.
It's the second time Jones has been arrested for failing to keep the sex offender register current - in 2004 he failed to notify authorities he had changed address.
Jones is due for arraignment on 14 July (10). If convicted he faces up to three years behind bars.
