CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A serial sex offender faces new charges after authorities say he was caught masturbating next to a patron at Horseshoe Casino Cleveland and peering over a women's bathroom stall at another.

Sean Miner, 43, who gave his address as 2100 Lakeside Avenue, the men's homeless shelter, is charged with a felony gross sexual imposition, voyeurism and several misdemeanor counts of public indecency. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

On Aug. 24, casino surveillance spotted Miner exposing himself, including touching one woman with his penis while he was masturbating next to her, prosecutors said. He was kicked out of the casino but not arrested at that time.

A Horseshoe spokeswoman Tuesday said guest safety is a top priority.

"Upon discovering this incident, the alleged perpetrator was immediately removed from the casino and the case was remanded to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department. Horseshoe Cleveland takes such matters very seriously and has permanently banned the individual from the casino," Shannon Mortland said in an email.

A county judge labeled Miner a sexual predator after he was found guilty of kidnapping and sexually attacking a woman in 2004. He was sentenced to nine years in prison for those crimes and was released from prison in 2013.

Within months of his release, Miner was charged with failing to properly register his address with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's office and sent back to prison for nine months. He was released from that prison stint in June. He is currently on parole supervision.

Miner was also convicted in the late 1980s of attempted rape and felonious assault and sentenced to four to 15 years in prison.
