Gay rights icon Larry Brinkin has been arrested on charges of child pornography, according to San Francisco police.
Brinkin, 66, best known for fighting for equal rights on behalf of the LGBT community, was booked into San Francisco County Jail on Friday night. He posted bail and was released Saturday, SF Weekly reports.
The San Francisco Police Department seized computers, videos, VHS tapes and a floppy disc from Brinkin and his husbands home, according to a search warrant obtained by SF Weekly.
Police say Brinkin had exchanged emails that contained pornographic photographs involving children as young as 1-year-old being sodomized or performing oral sex on adult men, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The emails also contain graphic sexual and racist commentary, including, "I loved especially the n---er 2 year old getting nailed," as well as a rant about white supremacy.
The disturbing messages were traced to Brinkins IP address, and his name and credit card information are registered with the AOL account, identified as zack3737@aol.com, according to police.
The warrant also notes that the email address is linked to Yahoo discussion groups about the sexual exploitation of children.
Brinkin was a beloved employee of the Human Rights Commission before he retired in 2010 the Board of Supervisors even once designated the week of Feb. 1 as Larry Brinkin Week.
Theresa Sparks, executive director of the commission, said the allegation is beyond hard to believe.
Its almost incredulous, theres no way I could believe such a thing, Sparks told SF Weekly. Hes always been one of my heroes, and hes the epitome of a human rights activist this is [the] man who coined phrases we use in our daily language. I support Larry 100 percent, hopefully it will all come out in the investigation.
Police have only said they are still investigating the case.
Nancy Pelosi will ask for the age of consent be lowered to 10 yrs of age.
Yep, then everything is legal and O.K. under the “law”.
I don’t know why people believe that child molesters “suffer cruel and unusual fates,” in jail for instance they are separated from the general population, protected, and treated in many cases better than other prisoners.
Larry Brinkin secret wish, ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ please!
I’ve been writing for years about gay male activists hatred of black people. I’ve witnessed it up close and personal when some gay guys I knew dropped their masks for a minute.
Sick bastards!
But Oreo has a gay cookie in honor of his choice! Isn’t that nice?
This makes me sick. A 2 yr old child......Put him in general population. That's all they need to do.
How in the Hell does a pervert recruit kids aged 1,2 and 3 if they aren't offered up/prostituted by the kids' parents or guardians?
The words have not been invented that can describe that abomination.
Homo’s are having a fantastic gay pride month.
Some lucky prisoners are going to get a new b***h.
I'm sure they will to it again next year along with a "Free Larry, Free man-boy love" march.
Only in SF could this guy get out on bail. The most vile, disgusting human being I’ve seen captured in print. He makes Sandusky pale in comparison. And a racist to boot.
He should be burned alive.
Actually, I thought my comment was so obviously sarcastic that adding /s at the end would be overkill.
Holy cow...I cannot believe humans actually have such thoughts.
His entire life has been an evil and twisted lie.
What a foul creature. Not human, not a shred of decency.
He is a demon that walks the earth.
