Washington DC’s WTOP News reports:

A former Prince George’s County, Maryland, public school librarian arrested on vandalism and hate crime charges last year is now also charged with possessing child pornography.

Charles Sutherland, 31, of Takoma Park, was arrested last June after police said he was caught on video spray painting the word “groomer” on entrances to public libraries in New Carrollton and Greenbelt around the time of Capital Pride Week.

He consented to a search of his home and admitted that there were images of child pornography on his computer. Police also found diapers and dolls around his apartment, including a child-sized doll in his bed. Sutherland is alleged to have told police that he had no children, and no nieces or nephews.
