Westland man charged with watching porn at library

A Westland man is facing three felony charges after being arrested for allegedly watching child pornography on a Westland library computer.

Dean Morrow, 52, is charged with three counts of possessing child sexually abusive material. He was arraigned Friday in Westland 18th District Court. A not guilty plea was entered.

Westland Police were called to Westland's William P. Faust Library on Feb. 4 when a man was allegedly watching child pornography on one of the public use computers.

Some high school students witnessed the man watching the child pornography and reported it to library staff, police said.

Officers reported responding to the library and confirmed that the man was viewing and printing child pornography. A suspect was arrested.

Officers reported finding hundreds of child pornographic images after executing a search warrant at the suspect's Westland apartment.

Police said they would be contacting other area police agencies to conduct further investigation after the suspect allegedly made a statement saying that he had been visiting other area libraries and using their computers to search for child pornographic images.
