Registered sex offender Worden Bourn was scheduled to go to court yesterday. The hearing was continued to June 9th at 8:30AM.
Bourn was originally charged with supplying a minor with alcohol and drugs on a boat he was living in off of Fort Myers Beach. He then skipped town and headed toward Cuba. In March, SWFLCrimestoppers added Bourn to their Top Ten Most Wanted list. Bourn was eventually rearrested in March near Cuba by the Lee County Sheriff’s Department for skipping a scheduled court appointment.
The minor Bourn was with was reported missing which led to a massive search by authiorities on the water of Fort Myers Beach.
In December 2025, Bourn was arrested for providing the minor with drugs and alcohol after the missing juvenile was located intoxicated and under the influence of narcotics on his sailboat. Bourn is a registered sex offender and after his arrest members of the Sexual Offender & Predator Unit conducted a detailed review additionally charged him with four sex offender violations.
When he was brought back to Lee County, Judge Andrew Marcus ordered Bourn be held without bond.
Bourn is being represented by a public defender.
