A 44-year-old Phoenix man who lives with his parents was arrested yesterday after cops discovered he’d been downloading kiddy-porn to the computer at his parents’ house.
Earlier this month, cops accessed the IP address for the computer at the home of Kurtis Bruce’s parents and were able to directly download images from the computer of naked children in sexually compromising positions. In one case, a girl, about 7-years-old, was seen naked and tied to a bed with rope. Also seen in the frame is a person’s hand holding a belt.
Cops got a search warrant for Bruce’s home and questioned both him and
his father. Bruce’s father, court documents obtained by New Times show,
had nothing to do with the smut. Bruce, on the other hand, decided to spill
his guts to police — even after he was read his Miranda Rights.
Bruce told cops he’d searched the Internet for kiddy-porn for years. He
told police he would download the images to an external thumb-drive and
— as if a 44-year-old man living with his parents and looking at
kiddy-porn isn’t weird enough — he would then go to a friend’s house,
burn the images on to a disk, and masturbate.
Just to completely screw himself, Bruce told police that in addition to
jackin’ off to kiddy-porn at his buddy’s house, he would also distribute
the kiddy-porn to “contacts he has.”
Bruce was booked on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. He’s being held on $75,000 bail.
