James David Nichols, 31, of 497 Forest Lakes Estates, was being held in the Chatham County Jail under a $25,000 secured bond Thursday.
Corrine Oxolins, 54, and Tonya Wilson, 34, both of the same address, also faced charges of allowing the care of a minor in the residence of a sex offender. They were also being held under separate $25,000 bonds.
All three suspects have a first court appearance set for April 27.
Deputies came to Nichols' home at the request of a person who was trying to move out. They spotted a child there and arrested the suspects, investigators said.
According to state Department of Correction records, Nichols was convicted of taking indecent liberties with a minor in Guilford County in 1999 and of the same charge in Randolph County in 2001. He served a total of about 14 months for both convictions.
Nichols was convicted of attempted second-degree rape in Perquimans County in 2003. He served four years for that charge and another nine months for a post-release violation in 2008.
