17-year-old male booked with sex act in a public library while watching porn on the Internet
Henry Stafford 3, 1821 Robert Drive in eastern St. Bernard, was arrested Saturday, Sept. 13 in the library in the re-opened old Parish Courthouse at 1201 Bayou Road, the sheriff said.
A library employee reported just before 3 p.m. that a male was acting suspiciously and apparently had been looking at porn on a laptop computer. When a sheriff’s deputy arrived the employee said she had seen the teen-ager sitting at a table in front of a computer and his pants had been down.
Under questioning by the deputy, Stafford first said he was looking at a new video game. But when informed he was suspected of watching porn and committing a sex act with his pants down he admitted it, Sheriff Pohlmann said.
After further questioning by a sheriff’s detective, Stafford was taken to St. Bernard Parish Prison and booked with obscenity.
He was being held in lieu of bond set at $2,500.
