Lahoud was charged between late 2008 and 2009 with 11 counts of indecent liberties with a child and one count of attempted rape.
"He was supposed to plead guilty to some of those and go to prison," Shekita said.
Lahoud would have spent between eight and 10 years in prison for the offenses, Shekita said.
The police were notified at 7:53 a.m. about a dead person in the parking lot of an office complex at 7008 Harps Mill Road, Jim Sughrue, a Raleigh police spokesman, said Monday afternoon.
Lahoud of 1905 Grove Point Court was given a deferred prosecution for indecent liberties in 1995, then convicted of four counts of indecent liberties, one in 2002 and three in 2004, according to the N.C. Sex Offender Registry. Prison records show he received probation and suspended sentences and never served time in prison for the offenses.
In 2008, Lahoud's neighbors were baffled by the news of his arrest. They described him as a quiet, churchgoing, hard-working general contractor.
Investigators think the offenses involved at least four juveniles - one girl and three boys.
They think the offenses took place between 2001 and 2006, court records show.
One of the victims, who was 15 when Lahoud was arrested, told investigators that he was fondled by Lahoud at least five times.
Three other teens also told investigators Lahoud fondled them on multiple occasions when they were younger.
