BRUNSWICK

Curtis Memorial Library administrators have revoked a yearlong ban imposed on all but one of the students punished for filming graphically violent videos on its premises without permission.

Library Executive Director Elisabeth Doucett said Wednesday the ban had been lifted for all of the students except one, a 17-year-old “who was the one who brought the gun into the building.” 

The ban was implemented Jan. 11 after police and school officials spoke to the group of students and issued them warnings for criminal trespass. 

The remaining ban could be negated by the end of today. 

“Until we learned what was going on, we decided to join MRRA’s notice of the ban,” Doucett said. “We’re going to speak to the remaining individual, hopefully today, and we’ll decide what to do then.” 

The ban remains in place at Brunswick Landing where numerous filming sessions also took place during the past two years. 

“I can’t control what they do on the Navy property, but the MRRA ban will remain in place for the time being,” said Steve Levesque, executive director of Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, the agency in charge of repopulating the former base. 

“We have filming going on here all the time,” Levesque said. “There’s a film crew on the property now, it’s a documentary crew, filming in one of the hangars. But we have a process that needs to be followed. If one of those kids got hurt, it would be a liability issue.”
