Librarian Fired for Reporting Child Porn User Demands Job Back

A librarian in California who was fired after reporting to the police about a man who was using a library computer to view child pornography is demanding her job back.

Fla.-based Christian legal group Liberty Counsel has sent a demand letter to the Tulare County Library in Lindsay, Calif., requesting that officials reinstate library assistant Brenda Biesterfeld.

Mathew D. Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of Liberty University’s School of Law, called the decision to fire Biesterfeld "outrageous."

"Child pornography is illegal under state and federal laws," stated Staver. "Brenda Biesterfeld had a moral and a legal responsibility to report to police a library patron whom she observed viewing child pornography.

"Child pornography is a despicable crime against children,” he added. “Our tax dollars should not be used to provide safe havens for sexual perverts to view child pornography."
