Republicans ban books but promote pedos and child molesters. Man who urged schools to ban books with sexual content arrested for child molestation: report Authorities in Missouri have arrested an anti-book activist. "A Gladstone man, who recently spoke in support of banning books from North Kansas City School District libraries that depicted sexual acts, is facing a felony charge of second-degree child molestation and a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree domestic assault," KMBC-TV reports. "Ryan Utterback, 29, is also facing a misdemeanor charge of furnishing pornographic material or attempting to furnish to a minor in a separate case." In November, Utterback told KMBC-TV that he supported banning books because of his superior judgment of what is suitable for children. "Those conversations are to be had at home and only I have the intimate understanding of what is and isn't appropriate for my children," Utterback said. Utterback was charged with second-degree child molestation, a misdemeanor charge of furnishing or attempting to furnish pornographic material to a minor and a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree domestic assault. His next court date is scheduled for March 10th.
