According to the authorities, Bruce Paddock- the brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock – has been arrested in LA and charged with “possessing more than 600 images of child pornography, as well as 19 counts sexual exploitation of a child.” 1
Bruce Paddock should not be confused with their other brother, Eric Paddock, who spoke to the media following the shooting. At the time of the investigation, Bruce Paddock was a transient and could not be located.
“An FBI spokeswoman confirmed to CBS News that federal officials assisted the Los Angeles Police Department Wednesday in arresting Bruce Paddock. An official told the Associated Press that the child porn case predates the Las Vegas shooting. It wasn’t immediately known if Bruce Paddock has an attorney.
In a press release, the Los Angeles Police Department said the investigation began after evidence was discovered inside a business where Bruce Paddock had been squatting after being evicted.”1
