A registered sex offender is facing a new charge after police say he used camera-equipped sunglasses to record children at Boston Common.
Boston police began investigating the 60-year-old Brockton man after witnesses reported seeing him record children at the Frog Pond four days earlier. It was reported that he is registered as a level three sex offender and has 10 convictions involving child sex offenses.
Officers were called to the Frog Pond around 1 p.m. Friday after witnesses reported seeing the man record children with camera sunglasses and a cell phone. Police also learned that witnesses allegedly saw him recording a family while they were changing their children’s clothes. The children were covered with towels to protect their privacy, but witnesses said the man followed the family after they moved away and continued recording with the sunglasses. The family and other witnesses had left the Frog Pond by the time officers arrived.
