SALT LAKE CITY — A second man has been charged with viewing child pornography at the Salt Lake Main Library since last November.
A library security officer said he was walking by the public computers on the first floor April 16 and saw Jeffrey Tucker, 50, viewing child porn, according to charges filed in the 3rd District Court Wednesday.
A security guard placed Tucker in handcuffs, but after an interview with an Internet Crimes Against Children task force investigator, he was released but told the case would still be investigated.
Tucker was charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony. He pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of a child, a second-degree felony, over an incident in April 1990.
In November 2009, another man was accused of viewing child porn at the same library. Kenneth Thulin, 33, was later charged with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. Police later said he was under investigation for allegedly looking at child porn on April 16, the same day Tucker is accused of viewing child porn. Thulin is still under investigation but has not been charged in the recent incident.
