FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - After offering a reward of up to $5,000, officials have captured a Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offender in Fort Worth.

Working off a tip, U.S. Marshals, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, and Fort Worth police  arrested Lavinci Damon Henderson, without incident, at a private residence. Henderson, 41, was a "high-risk sex offender" wanted for the sexual assault of a child and failure to register as a sex offender.

It was in 1994 that Henderson was convicted in Tarrant County of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of aggravated kidnapping. The female victims in those crimes were only 12 and 13 at the time. In 2014, Fort Worth police arrested him on child sex assault charges.

Henderson had last registered as a sex offender in May of 2015.

Officials say the arrest was the direct result of tip information received through Texas Crime Stoppers and a reward will be paid.
