George Zinn, who allegedly fabricated a confession in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has been arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and possession of child sexual abuse material, Utah authorities said.
Zinn, 71, was arrested at the scene of the September 10 shooting at Utah Valley University in Orem after shouting, “I shot him, now shoot me.” He later told investigators he faked the confession to help the real suspect—later identified as Tyler Robinson—escape, according to a probable cause statement.
Authorities said an investigation into Zinn led to the discovery of explicit material on his phone, including more than 20 images of children between the ages of 5 and 12. Court records also cite graphic messages in which Zinn admitted to being aroused by the material.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, FBI agents interviewed Zinn at the hospital where he was taken after complaining of chest pain. During that interview, Zinn admitted to viewing child sexual abuse material and said he was “sexually aroused” by children.
Investigators reportedly found images of underage girls in their underwear on his phone.
When a bunch of files got leaked from UK intelligence agencies some years back, one of the programs mentioned was one that could essentially frame targets with CP material.
I’m not sure this administration is competent enough to do that, but I’d bet money they got embarrassed and are using some bathtime pic one if his kids sent him of his grandkids.
Then came the forced confession.
Add the fact that the source is Newsweek, and I’m definitely not taking this at face value.
It would be easy for them to do. And everyone would take their word for it.
Character assasination would be pretty effective to preventing more luigis. Would people still think he’s hot if he got framed for that??
