A sex offender is being sought by Suffolk probation for two felonies: failing to register as a sex offender and possessing a sexual performance by a child younger than 16.

The suspect, Kevin O'Grady, has lived in Ridge, police said, offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to his arrest.

O'Grady was arrested in April 2015 after images of a young girl engaged in sexual acts with an adult male were found on his computer, a police spokeswoman said.
