Residents Outraged Over Adult Film Shot In Santa Monica Public Library
Residents were left outraged after learning that a pornographic video was recorded at Santa Monica Public Library during business hours recently.
While one resident says, “God forbid, a child walked in the library and walked right in on the middle of it. That’s my biggest concern. Children don’t need to be exposed to this. If you want to do porn, stick to the hotels,” another added, “That is wrong, it is completely wrong. It’s a public place, a library where there are children. How will the city or people allow that?”

Additionally, attorney Luis Carillo says lewd activities carry serious legal consequences. He adds, “If a person is found to have committed that crime, the punishment may include, apart from jail, registering as a sex offender.”
Also, if the person performing sexual acts in the video is minor, “then whoever uploaded this to social media can be charged in federal court for possession of child pornography.”

City officials have since released a statement, calling the video “deeply disturbing.”
In part, the statement read, “This video is deeply disturbing. Lew acts in the public library are a violation of library rules and against the law. Staff did not have knowledge of the incident when it took place.”
