Graphic Sex Books Found Near Children's Books At Store

Posted: 7:33 am EDT August 8, 2006Updated: 12:23 pm EDT August 8, 2006

A local woman said she was disgusted at what she found among children's books in a local store.

Erica Mantz said she found graphic sex books right next to children's titles at a Borders book store in the Seminole Town Center mall.

The books contained sex acts and nudity and were placed on bargain shelves along with titles for children as young as pre-school age.

"Showing female body parts, male body parts. Stuff like that. Sex acts. Not [appropriate] for a book store. Not where they think they're going to learn," said Mantz.

A representative from Borders told Channel 9 that the store had placed the books in the wrong area, but we checked two other stores and found the same thing.

One manager agreed to move the books on the spot.
