The elderly man who lied about shooting Charlie Kirk just moments after the conservative activist's assassination was caught with child pornography on his phone, authorities said.
George Zinn, a 71-year-old Utah resident, was initially suspected of being the shooter after he was caught on video being taken into custody moments after Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University last week.
He was soon cleared of being the suspected shooter and confessed to causing a distraction to keep law enforcement away from the shooter, now alleged to be 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
Following his arrest, which quickly went viral online, Zinn was transported to a hospital for a pre-existing medical condition.
It was there that he not only admitted to helping the alleged killer escape, but that 'he uses his phone to view and abuse Child Sex Abuse Material and there may be some images on his phone,' according to the Utah County Sheriff's Office.
After agreeing to hand his phone over to FBI agents, they found a number of images 'of prepubescent girls scantily dressed,' police said.
The Utah Special Victims Unit then took over the matter, leading them to uncover a trove of more evidence on Zinn's phone.
A search warrant was obtained on Monday and investigators found 'over 20 images of children ranging from 5 to 12 years old in various stages of undress and sexual posting,' authorities noted.
Authorities also uncovered 'several very graphic sexual text threads in which Zinn shared the images with other parties,' according to police.
He then admitted 'he gets sexual gratification from viewing and sharing' the images, and prefers children who are between 5 and 12 years old, the sheriff's office said.

Looking like these nutbags have been working together in a large conspiracy. Round them all up!
not a surprise
he is part of the lgbtq(p) community
the p is silent
At this rate, I'd almost be surprised if he didn't.
Not only that but he admitted he confessed so the real killer could get away..take this guy and hang him that simple, public hanging
He found out...
From the initial video of him you could hear that weak cry baby lisp. It was automatic for my gaydar to peg out.
Some Freepers are saying this SAME MAN was at WTC on 9/11 AND the Boston Marathon Bombing!!!! Could this be TRUE???
He has been charged with two things:
Interfering with law enforcement.
Trafficking pics of children.
If they go into his home and find more, he will never again see natural sunlight.
He was charged in the Kirk case with obstruction so far.
And charged in the pedo case...4 counts.
"Come and get me, Copper!"

Somebody slipped the guy $50 to say that and distract the LEO
Sooo, this older guy, within minutes if not seconds of the shot, had the presence of mind to suddenly think “I’m going to help the shooter getaway by yelling {I DID IT}.”
Isn’t it much more likely that he had info that something big was going to happen at the event beforehand and when it did, he was ready.
The democrat party has active factions normalizing child sexual exploitation.
Exactly.
"confessed to causing a distraction to keep law enforcement away from the shooter"
“After agreeing to hand his phone over to FBI agents...”
Years ago I was following a trial. The cops told the guy he would get his phone back a lot more quickly if he would just let them look at it to see if he had been on it during a terrible traffic accident with multiple fatalities (rather than getting a search warrant).
He was not on the phone, and was found not guilty for the accident. However, because he voluntarily gave them his phone they could then search for anything on the phone, and ended up giving him numerous charges related to drugs.
Glad this old pervert gave the cops his phone.
There are posts (or rumors of posts) on various LGBTQ sites that something was going to happen to Charlie that day. So perhaps there was knowledge ahead of time among some in that perverted community that something like this could happen.
The guy is nuttier than squirrel turds.
