The police were called out to the library and found Johnney Keen sitting at a table in the libary. A few moments later, officers observed Keen, who was holding a book as a distraction while watching young girls at the library, begin to put his hand inside his shorts and fondle himself.For the complete story, please read the original Bay News 9 story.
