Pleasant Grove police have arrested a registered sex offender after he allegedly admitted to exposing himself to children.

Darrell Jesse Little, 29, was being held in Utah County Jail Saturday on more than two-dozen counts ranging from aggravated sexual abuse of a child and lewdness involving a child to being a convicted sex offender in the presence of a child.

Jail records showed that Little was being held in lieu of $50,000 cash bail.

A probable cause statement alleges that Little acknowledged luring children with what he reportedly called "the fishing game" — dangling a rope from the front of his house into his garage. A note was attached stating that yanking on the rope would bring a prize.

The other end of the rope, according to police, was tied to Little's genitals.

Little was arrested Friday.
