A man who blogs about his attraction to young girls but says he doesn't touch them was arrested Monday near a university infant development program with a camera, police said.

Jack McClellan was arrested at 1:40 p.m. at the University of California, Los Angeles, campus police said in a statement.

McClellan was arrested without incident, police said.

McClellan violated a restraining order requiring him not to loiter or congregate within 30 feet of minors, police alleged. He was released and scheduled to appear in court Sept. 13.

Phone and e-mail messages to McClellan were not immediately returned.

McClellan, 45, is unemployed and lives out of his car. He created waves in Southern California upon arriving earlier this summer from Washington state, where he had lived with his parents.

For years, McClellan maintained a Web site in Washington where he posted child photos he had taken in public places. He also discussed how he liked to stake out parks, public libraries, fast-food restaurants and other areas where little girls, or "LGs," congregate.

McClellan's server took his Web site down over a month ago. He said in an interview a few weeks ago that he isn't sure whether he'll try to put it back up.
