Las Vegas shooter's brother charged with possession of child pornography
The 58-year-old was arrested from a nursing facility in the 5300 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard, in the Valley Village neighborhood at around 8 am on Wednesday.
Police accused him of having more than 600 pornographic images of children or youth, including at least 10 images of a child younger than 12.
According to documents filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court, 20 criminal charges were pressed against him, pertaining to either possession of child pornography or sexual exploitation of children.
LAPD spokesman Josh Rubenstein has stated that the investigation had nothing to do with the Vegas shooting and was done independently.
Bruce's brother Stephen killed at least 58 people and injured several hundreds on the night of Oct 1 in Las Vegas.
He later killed himself.
Bruce had several other criminal records, including annoying a child under 18.
He is one of the four brothers.
According to LA Times, "Their father, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, was a convicted bank robber who was once placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list."
