George Zinn, Elderly Rabble-Rouser Who Falsely Claimed He Shot Charlie Kirk, Is Hit With Child Porn Charges

The elderly rabble-rouser who allegedly hindered Utah authorities’ response after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot is now accused of keeping “graphic” sexual photos of children on his phone, according to law enforcement.

George Zinn, 71, was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor Monday after investigators found more than 20 images of kids as young as 5 years old, at least partially naked and “posing” in a “sexual” way, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Tuesday.

“Zinn admitted … that he gets sexual gratification from viewing and sharing [child sexual abuse material] images with others, and that his preferred victim age is 5 to 12 years old,” the agency alleged.

Zinn, who is a political “gadfly,” is also facing a charge of obstruction of justice after he allegedly admitted to screaming that he shot Kirk on a Utah college campus Wednesday in a bid to help the actual shooter get away.

He was quickly taken into custody at Utah Valley University with that detention paving the way for the child porn charges, the sheriff’s office said. (Read more from “George Zinn, Elderly Rabble-Rouser Who Falsely Claimed He Shot Charlie Kirk, Is Hit With Child Porn Charges” HERE)
