Pomona Halts Mailings After Pornographic Pages Found in Recreation Guide

Officials have asked police and postal inspectors to probe how eight unauthorized pages were inserted into mailed guides.

Overview

  • City staff discovered the unauthorized material Monday and immediately suspended further distribution of the summer recreation guide.
  • Officials have confirmed two tainted mailed copies so far and say the altered guides contained eight pages of non‑City material that included pornographic images.
  • The city says its contracted printer did not add the content and has requested a crime report so the Pomona Police Department and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service can examine whether insertion occurred before, during, or after printing.
  • Pomona posted an apology, acknowledged damage to public trust, and made a corrected online version of the guide available for families and children to view.
  • City leaders say they will identify the cause and tighten approval and mailing safeguards, and residents should expect updates as investigators determine the scope and how to prevent future tampering.
