High Profile Gay Activist Arrested on Child Porn Charges
The Los Angeles Child Pornography defense lawyers at Wallin & Klarich have decades of experience dealing with serious cases involving alleged possession of child porn, such as the high profile case involving LGBT activist Larry Brinkin.
San Francisco police have arrested veteran gay rights advocate Larry Brinkin in connection with felony possession of child pornography.
Brinkin, 66, who worked for the San Francisco Human Rights Commission before his retirement in 2010, was taken into custody by S.F.P.D. Friday night. He spent the night in jail before he was released on bail, according to a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department.
The district attorney’s office will decide Tuesday whether to file charges. “We’re still reviewing the case,” district attorney’s spokeswoman Stephanie Ong Stillman said Monday.
Police allege that Brinkin had pornographic photos. The police claim that some show children as young as 1 to 3 years old being sodomized and performing oral sex on adult men, in e-mail attachments linked to his account, according to a search warrant served by San Francisco police. If convicted, Brinkin could spend many years in a California State prison.
