73-year-old man Leroy Moore, Jr., was arrested Wednesday for viewing child pornography on two laptops while parked in a handicapped spot of a York, S.C. Lowe’s. He’d been accessing the store’s public Wi-Fi.
Moore parked in the same Lowe’s spot for an estimated 90 minutes when a passerby reported him as a suspicious person. Police wearing body cameras approached and questioned Moore where he instantly confessed to the crime.

“What I watched still affects me today, and will probably affect me for a while,” arresting officer Lt. Rich Caddell said.
According to WSOC9, Moore’s neighbor Jerry McCurry—a techie hobbyist who fixes computers—found a folder containing graphic, underage pornography titled “My Girls” while working on Moore’s computer four years ago. McCurry reported the crime, but the York County Sheriff’s Office never charged Moore.
