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.

    True. The same shadowy think tank that steered Reagan’s administration has been trying to overthrow the government for nearly 50 years. They’re also currently steering Trump’s administration as they instigate a civil war, but just bc this guy:

    •happened to be in the crowd •Distracted the crowd immediately after the shooting by claiming he did it and helping the shooter escape while everyone’s back was turned •coincidentally happens to be a member of club ped(o) •has a cutesy little back story about sleeping on a cot and sharing a hotel room with one of them at the convention •was arrested by the FBI, interviewed about his pedophelia, released, then arrested again

    Isn’t really all that weird. Like that could be the back story of just about any random person in the crowd of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Dime a dozen.
