Henderson was convicted of sexually abusing a minor in Jacksonville 15 years ago.

Court records showed that Henderson has repeatedly been in jail for failing to register as a convicted sex offender.

Henderson was charged with two counts of sexual battery on a victim less than 12 years of age and lewd/lascivious battery on a victim less than 16 years of age.

Under a new Florida law, Henderson could face the death penalty if convicted of capital sexual battery.
