A male sex offender was nabbed in the financial section of the Milford Public Library Wednesday, wearing women's lace panties instead of pants, according to reports.
Several patrons complained to library officials when their wholesome trip was interrupted by the rather disturbing sight, the Connecticut Post reports.
The panties worn by Richard Wedmore, 46, of New Haven, were far too small to conceal his genitals, the Post reports.
He was charged with public indecency, risk of injury to a minor and breach of peace. He was held on $10,000 and is scheduled to be arraigned in Milford Thursday.
Library Director Jean Tsang said the library is a public building so there's nothing to be done to block someone until after he or she commits an offense.
Library use, she said, is up 16 percent in Milford because of the economy.
