SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. — A former member of the Southborough Select Board was arrested for allegedly showing porn to two juveniles at a restaurant Tuesday afternoon.
David Parry, of Southborough, is charged with two counts of dissemination of matter harmful to minors.
Southborough Police say they investigated a report of an elderly man showing inappropriate pictures and video to two children at a Main Street diner around 2:30 p.m. The juveniles said the man, later identified as Parry, allegedly approached them and began engaging them in conversation.
During the conversation, Parry proceeded to show them a pornographic video on his cell phone, according to police.
The children left the restaurant and told an adult, who contacted the authorities.
In a statement, Town Administrator Mark Purple confirms Parry has been a member of the Southborough Select Board in the past, but would not comment any further.
Parry was arraigned in Westborough District Court Wednesday afternoon.
