A MAN was caught watching hardcore pornography in a public library.

Shocked library user Chris Winfield captured the moment the man in “clean clothes” and glasses began watching the obscene videos on a library computer at 11.45am.

Mr Winfield said: “If I had my kids with me he would have been through the screen, not watching it.”

The voyeur was caught watching a series of pornography clips on the computers in Crawley Library, last Saturday.

In one clip, a man can be seen pleasuring himself.

In another, two men can be seen engaging in full sexual intercourse.

The voyeur was seen in the act by Mr Winfield, who filmed the shocking incident on his phone.

In Mr Winfield’s video, the voyeur can be seen scratching his ear while a number of error messages appear on the computer screen.

Mr Winfield said: “Perhaps he went to the library to find a book on watching porn.

“But failed so used the computer instead.

“He looked like a normal guy with clean clothes and glasses – just your average kind of guy.”

Shocked librarians asked the man to leave.

Mr Winfield said: “He plugged his phone in and watched what you can see in the video.

“Not only did he stick his finger in his ear but if you notice he had to sit up and then down again. He must have been rearranging his you-know-what.

“I was on the last row so could see everyone, he sat in middle row as you can see in the video.

“A library worker came running over asked him to remove his devices from the computer and leave.”

The Argus has approached West Sussex County Council – which runs the library – for comment.
