A man who was arrested at the Valencia library on suspicion of annoying or molesting a teenage girl last month pleaded no contest in court on Tuesday and was sentenced to 45 days in county jail.
Christopher Cline, 25, of Canyon Country pleaded no contest to one count of child molesting, said Ricardo Santiago, spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Cline has been ordered to attend 52 counseling sessions, or one session per week for a year, is prohibited from entering any Santa Clarita Valley Public Libraries and is required to register as a sex offender for life, said Santiago.
Cline was arrested on Sept. 19 after he allegedly approached the 14-year-old girl who was sitting at a computer and handed her a note asking her to “call him later.”
