KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Benton County prosecutors are deciding whether to charge a registered sex offender who approached four children at a library in Kennewick.
KEPR-TV reports 20-year-old Russell Rust encouraged a girl to sit next to him last weekend and passed her a note.
The children, ages 11 to 13, went home and told their parents who called police and went back to the Mid-Columbia Library.
Library spokeswoman Kate Holloway says it refused to tell them anything about the library patron without a subpoena. She says the library suspended Rust’s privileges for a year.
