A 70-year-old man was arrested after police said he took off his pants and began to sexually please himself at a public library with children present.

George Volmer walked into Madeira Public Library, 7200 Miami Ave., on July 12, dropped his pants and began to engage in inappropriate sexual conduct 25 feet away from a child and tutor, according to court documents.

This was not Volmer's first arrest for public indecency. His pattern of self-exposures date back almost three decades.

Court records show that Volmer was charged with public indecency in May of 1991 and in December of 1992.

In June of 2004, Volmer was arrested again after engaging in similar sexual self-pleasure at a Half Price Books in Madeira, according to records.

A year after that arrest, in November of 2005, court records state that Volmer was arrested for simply entering the Half Price Books store without privilege to do so due to his prior inappropriate behavior.

In January of 2008, Volmer was arrested after taking his clothes off in the back of Macy's Furniture store in Kenwood and exposing himself while sitting on top of a table in the store, according to court records.

A month later, in February of 2008, Volmer was charged with a similar offense at The Book Rack. According to court documents, Volmer exposed himself to an employee of The Book Rack after removing his clothing in the bathroom and then walking out into the shelved space of the store.

Court records do not show any public indecency charges against Volmer between 2008 and his alleged offense last Thursday.

The sentences in Volmer's previous cases were counseling, recommended behavioral control programs and to stay out of the establishments where the crimes were committed.

For the most recent charge at Madeira Public Library, Volmer is being held on a $100,000 cash bond and will be in court on July 23.

Attempts to reach Volmer's attorney were not immediately returned.
