Media Bridges fires sex offender

The non-profit group Media Bridges is conducting background checks on all its volunteers after a tipster alerted officials that a Tier III sexual offender - used for Ohio’s worst offenders - was working for them.

The offender, Bryan Lee, 35, of Avondale, was dismissed Wednesday.

“He came across as a nice, eager young man who wants to help people,” said Tom Bishop, executive director of Media Bridges, which shows people how to use video and audio software to create movies, television shows, and multimedia programs.

While anyone can use the equipment, the organization has a focus on children, trying to help them with skills for the future, Bishop said.
