Librarian Who Painted “Groomer” On D.C. Libraries Busted for Child Porn-Had Child-Sized Doll in Bed

Charles Sutherland, 31, of Takoma Park, Maryland, was arrested and charged with possessing child pornography following a nearly seven-month-long police search of his laptop. The laptop was seized from his home in June during an investigation after he was captured on video painting the term ‘groomer’ on the New Carrolton library and the Greenbelt library during Pride Month in 2022.

Sutherland, the former librarian at Northview Elementary School in Bowie, confessed to his crimes and permitted police to search his home. During the search, officers found children’s dolls, diapers, and a child-size doll despite Sutherland not having any children, according to WUSA9.

Sutherland told Montgomery County police he didn’t have nieces or nephews and openly confessed to having child pornography.

Since his June arrest, the former librarian was then placed on leave from the Prince George’s County Public Schools. The school system declined any further comment about Sutherland.

The findings on his computer in January revealed Sutherland downloaded seven files of pornography.

A year before the attack, Sutherland sent a letter to the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System that read,

‘I am asking you humbly to reconsider celebrating pride month next year. Or at least refrain from making pride displays for small children, and that reason is because, typically, they are too young to understand vital parts of sexuality, like the sex act, the differences between sexes, etc. “

Montgomery County police arrested Sutherland on seven misdemeanor counts of possession of child pornography in early February. Last week, a judge ordered that he remain held without bond until trial in April. Since then, his lawyer has appealed, hoping he would continue to be released on home detention to his parent’s residence in College Park. Sutherland faces at least seven charges of possessing child pornography, according to a charging document. He is being held without bond as he awaits trial for the charges in April.

In late August, Sutherland is scheduled to go on trial in Prince George’s County, where he faces eight charges for vandalism and hate crimes concerning the damage to the two county libraries.
