George Zinn, the man who initially claimed responsibility for the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has been hit with even more serious charges. Following his arrest for obstruction of justice, Zinn is now facing four counts of possession of child pornography after FBI agents found explicit images of minors on his phone.
The shocking developments came to light after Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 at Utah Valley University. Per the Guardian, minutes after the incident, Zinn was apprehended by police, reportedly shouting “I shot him – now shoot me.” He was taken to a hospital for chest pains, where he later admitted to investigators that his confession was a lie. According to TMZ, Court documents reveal that Zinn told federal agents he uses his phone to view “child sexual abuse material,” and that he gets “sexually aroused” by children.
