Gary J. Ryan - Repeat Sex Offender

A Mechanicville man arrested last month on a child pornography charge was arrested again Saturday during a traffic stop after it was discovered he was wanted on outstanding warrants from Nassau County, town police said.

Gary J. Ryan, 37, of Tenendaho Lane, who has been a Little League volunteer and city of Mechanicville Planning Board member, was stopped about 4:30 a.m. Saturday for a traffic infraction, Waterford Public Safety Commissioner John Tanchak said.

A routine check turned up the warrants for charges of first-degree attempted dissemination of indecent material to a minor, a felony, and five misdemeanor counts of attempted endangerment of the welfare of a child, Tanchak said.

Ryan was arrested by State Police in February on the felony charge of possessing a sexual performance by a child younger than 16 years old. He was released from Saratoga County jail on $5,000 bail. The status of that case and whether Ryan is still with the board or the Mechanicville-Stillwater Little League couldn't be immediately learned.

Ryan was turned over to detectives from Nassau County to be taken to Long Island, Waterford police said.
