Political pest who lied he'd shot Charlie Kirk moments after assassination 'caught with child porn on his phone'
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 16, 2025 | Emma Richter

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.

71? Child porn? I’m only a bit older and I consider pictures of scantily clad 60 year old women to be child porn.

I read another article that said he was arrested and being investigated. Will Cain show said there was no charges. Who knows.

That would I hope be enough to put his crazy ass away for quite some time.

In my state it certainly would be.

Our nation and society is currently being reshaped by those who based their entire existence on their sexual desires.

The porn thing was a separate investigation, this guy was known to law enforcement as they say. It looks like he was totally exonerated in the Charlie Kirk assassination but charged in the porn investigation. He said something about screaming “I’m the shooter” to give the real shooter time to get away. We might say he was an accessory after the fact, but the guy is clearly out of his mind.

Not at all surprising that a leftwing fanatic is also a pervert.

Put a fork in him. He’s done.

Obstruction of Justice, Accessory after the fact of first degree murder and distribution of Child Pornography. He’ll spend the rest of his life in prison.

The old man obviously had knowledge of the shooting. There was another guy in the crowd who started a USA chant as well. This was a trantifa conspiracy.

“Zinn was booked into the Utah County Jail on a charge of Obstruction of Justice, a second-degree felony, and 4 counts of second-degree felony sexual exploitation of a minor.”

Demonics will be demonic. These people are undeniably evil - possessed.

At the minimum impeding or interfering with an investigation.

He’s not out of his mind. He has an activist history and it’s not a good one. This was deliberate obstruction of justice.

This revelation of this Leftnick’s character is a part of the rolling train wreck of the Left’s vile abomination. I don’t think they will be able to dig themselves out of their horrendous reputation.

At first I believed this guy might be a halfwit but I have since revised that to a quarterwit.
