George Zinn, the first suspect detained after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, was hit with four counts related to child porn charges.
Zinn was immediately cuffed and taken into custody after TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at the âAmerican Comeback Tourâ event at Utah Valley University last Wednesday.
According to reports, George Zinn falsely told police he shot Charlie Kirk. He was charged with obstruction of justice.
Zinn was taken to a local hospital after complaining about chest pains, and that is when law enforcement went through his phone.
Authorities discovered the child porn on Zinnâs phone. Zinn told law enforcement that he gets âsexually arousedâ by child sex abuse images.
TMZ reported:
The man accused of obstructing the Charlie Kirk murder probe is in even more hot water ⊠heâs now been charged with possessing child porn.
George Zinn â who falsely told police he shot Kirk moments after the attack â was charged with obstruction of justice following the September 10 shooting death of the conservative activist at Utah Valley University in Orem, UT.
Now, Zinn has been charged with 4 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after FBI agents examined his phone and found images of underage girls dressed only in their underwear, according to court documents filed Tuesday by Utah prosecutors. The docs say Zinn admitted to the feds he gets âsexually arousedâ by children.
Law enforcement last Friday arrested Charlie Kirkâs assassin 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
Robinson was arrested on suspicion of capital murder, obstruction of justice and felony discharge of a weapon to cause bodily harm.
