BOSTON (AP) – A Saugus man returns to court to face charges that he took obscene pictures of young girls at the New England Aquarium in Boston, police said.

Harrison Vieira, 45, was arrested Saturday afternoon after he allegedly held a camera under the dresses of two children and snapped photos, police said.

While police questioned witnesses, Vieira allegedly tried to destroy a memory stick hidden in his shoe. After a brief struggle, police recovered the partially damaged stick.

Vieira is charged with disorderly conduct, disseminating sexually explicit materials depicting children, annoying or accosting a person of the opposite sex, and obscene matter distribution.

Police said it was Vieira’s third offense for obscene matter distribution. His arraignment is Tuesday in Boston Municipal Court.
