George Zinn, the man already accused of obstructing the investigation into the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is now facing even more serious charges, this time for possession of ch!ld p0rn.
Court documents filed Tuesday in Utah reveal that FBI agents found images of underage girls in only their underwear on Zinn’s phone. Prosecutors charged him with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. According to the filings, Zinn admitted to federal agents that he becomes “sexually aroused” by children.
Zinn had initially been arrested on September 10 after falsely claiming he was the shooter in the attack that killed Kirk during a campus event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was fatally shot in the neck while taking questions from the stage.
Police said Zinn later admitted he lied about the shooting. He was taken to a hospital after complaining of chest pains, where FBI agents interviewed him and asked whether anything illegal was on his phone. Zinn allegedly confessed that he used it to view “child sexual abuse material.”
Zinn is now facing both the original obstruction charge and the new counts of s3xual exploitation as prosecutors intensify their case.
