SEATTLE (AP) – An 82-year-old man who faces child pornography charges along with two of his elderly brothers was rolled into court in a wheelchair and his attorneys asked that he be given a mental competency evaluation.
Charles Emery did not enter a plea Thursday in King County Superior Court. Thomas Emery, 80, entered a not guilty plea, while 78-year-old Edwin Emery was not in court. The brothers are each being held on $500,000 bail after their arrests this month.
Investigators said a relative discovered evidence of child exploitation as she was cleaning out the garage of a home her uncles had shared for 55 years.
Seattle police said a search found child pornography and children’s toys and clothes. A King County prosecutor wrote in court papers that investigators found evidence that the men “shared the majority of their lives sexually abusing children to whom they had access.”
