Nathan Woods pleaded not guilty to sexual exploitation of a child and attempted sexual exploitation of a child during a court hearing Tuesday.

The charges stem from the 38-year-old’s arrest following an April 18 incident at a Boulder AT&T store at 1675 29th St, according to the Boulder Daily Camera.

Woods allegedly spent four hours perusing child porn on the tablet. 

Store employees alerted the police after they reviewed the iPad’s browser history before closing the store for the day and learned that Woods had visited child pornography sites.

Law enforcement agents checked the iPad’s browser history and found specific German terms that eventually translated to naked images of minors. The tablet also turned up websites that contained children performing sex acts.
