Gay rights icon Larry Brinkin, 66, has been arrested on charges of child pornography, according to San Francisco police, for allegedly exchanging emails that contained images of children as young as a year old.

edit to add:

"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".

This really doesn't smell right. This could be a setup. I can't believe that someone who's dedicated his entire life to human rights advocacy would have anything to do with white supremacists. It just doesn't fit. I think he's been targeted for a takedown.
