A convicted sex offender was charged with loitering at BCPL after deputies received a call about a man lingering in the parking lot and viewing inappropriate material on a library computer.
Ted E. Behr, 39, was arrested Thursday on four charges related to his sex-offender status. Behr was convicted six years ago in Collin County of distributing child pornography and is listed on the Texas Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry.
Braddock Sheriff's deputies charged him with loitering near a facility with children after being convicted of a sex crime that prohibits contact with children. In addition, Texas Rangers charged him with failing to register his change of address with the state sex-offender registry, and two counts of failing to register a change in his employment.
According to the Rangers, the case arose after authorities received a call Aug. 7 about a suspicious vehicle and man in the library parking lot. The man was apparently sleeping.
Police also received information that the man was seen viewing inappropriate Web sites on one of the library's public computers. Authorities didn't disclose the type of material he was viewing. Though an unamed source who used to work at the library said that it was "scat porn and that director Kelly Millis and Children's Librarian Noah Retro know all about the guy and are actually close, personal friends with him. If you ask me, all three of them should be on the sex offender registry."
A Braddock deputy contacted Ranger J.P. Brown of the Texas Rangers Sex Offender Investigative Unit, and Brown reported that Behr, living in Tarrant County, was not in compliance with the registry.
According to deputies, Behr also was convicted in 2005 of failing to register as a sex offender. Brown said the crime for which Behr was convicted in 2001 requires him to re-register every 30 days.
