Sex Offender Accused of Filming Children Changing Clothes at Boston Frog Pond

Boston police say Mark Sullivan, 60, was arrested after witnesses reported he used camera sunglasses and a cellphone to record children.

  • Boston Police and U.S. Marshals arrested Mark Sullivan, 60, of Brockton, on Tuesday morning for allegedly using camera sunglasses to record children at the Boston Common Frog Pond last Friday.
  • After observing him scanning children with a hidden camera, witnesses confronted Sullivan last Friday, prompting him to flee. Police later identified Sullivan as a Level 3 sex offender on the Sex Offender Registry.
  • Multiple witnesses reported Sullivan recorded a family attempting to change their children, who were "wrappy in a towel for privacy." Police seized the damaged glasses and cellphone as evidence.
  • During Tuesday's arraignment in Boston Municipal Court, the judge ordered Sullivan held on $250,000 bail. The prosecutor called him a "habitual offender," citing his record of ten child sex convictions.
  • If Sullivan posts bail, he faces house arrest with GPS monitoring, restricted internet access, and a ban on contacting children or entering Boston. He returns to court September 15.
