    Hello J:

    It means the state thinks somebody did something awful and they want to put him in jail. That person needs a lawyer.

    Your location will determine the state law ( if in the US)

    But it means the person did a crime ( sex act) . They need an attorney.

    Hello J:

    No. It means he hasn't been to court yet, or it means he didn't have a lawyer, or it means the cops THINK he did something really bad.

    But, if he was ONLY charged with a SEX offense, he'd HAVE bail. You need more information. Don't count on the jail staff to give it to you, though. They're NOT your friend.

    Hello again, J:

    No. Proof is for trial. All they need now is an accusation.

    One other option is that he was already a registered sex offender, and under the Sex Offenders Act ( depends on the state) if he did another sex crime, or if he did not report his address and other violations, he could be charged with that.
    Also if he was on probation for it, he would be held with no bond pending a probation hearing.

    Thanks Fr Chuck
    That's what I needed to know.Yes he was already a Sex Offender.He was charged with another charge which was Changing residence without notice which they gave him a Bond for that.But he got a No Bond for Sex Offender act.Could that have been it.
