Sex offender, 38, ‘spent hours glued to child porn on AT&T store iPad’ until horrified workers called police
A convicted sex offender has been slapped with charges that he looked at child porn on an iPad in a cell phone store in Boulder, Colorado, Crime Online reports.
Sex offender, Nathan Wood, 38, pleaded not guilty to charges of perusing child porn in the AT&T store.
He was charged with offenses that include sexual exploitation of a child and attempted sexual exploitation of a child for the April 18 incident in the store.
Wood was allegedly glued to the iPad for hours.
Authorities alleged Wood used an iPad at the store for four hours before leaving.
Finally, after the store closed, employees of the store searched the browser history of the iPad that the sex offender had commandeered and found shocking evidence of his porn browsing.
Wood had allegedly been visiting dark-web child porn sites.
According to Newsbreak, both of the charges against the sex offender for allegedly looking at child porn in the store are felonies.
Wood is being tried in Boulder District Court.
Nathan Wood, 38, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in Boulder District Court to sexual exploitation of a child and attempted sexual exploitation of a child, both felonies.
When police officers got their hands on the iPad that the sex offender had used at the store, allegedly to look at child porn, they found German phrases that allegedly amounted to search terms for images of nude children.
Wood also apparently visited sites that showed underage victims being sexually assaulted.
Prior to the offending alleged incident with the alleged child porn in the store, Wood was convicted in 2012 in Boulder County for sexual assault and burglary.
He had stolen women’s clothing from bathrooms in female dormitories at the University of Colorado and also assaulted a woman acquaintance as she slept in such a dorm. This led to charges of trespassing for starters, according to a CBS affiliate KCNC Denver report directly following the 2011 incident.
Authorities arrested 29-year-old Nathan Wood on charges of sexual assault, four counts of trespass, three counts of burglary and three counts of theft.
Wood was sentenced to six years in prison plus two years of work release and supervised probation for that offense.
After the incident with the alleged child porn in the store, Boulder cops relied on surveillance footage to track down the sex offender.
The sex offender promptly confessed to looking at porn in the store, but denied that any of it featured children, investigators alleged. He also attempted to deny ever looking up German search terms for child porn, claiming that he must have gotten his German mixed up.
According to Denver Post sister newspaper The Boulder Daily Camera, Wood’s trial is slated for May.
