SEATTLE, WA - Three elderly Seattle brothers have been arrested over allegations that they possessed large quantities of child porn and, according to reports, molested members of their family over the course of years. Seattle police were alerted to the crimes after a family member cleaning the home found evidence of child porn, and the three brothers were arrested over the last few days.

The three brothers, Charles L., 82, Edwin H., 78, and Thomas E. Emery, 79, were arrested between Saturday and Monday and are being held in jail on $1 million bond each, according to jail records. All three are being held on a charge of possession of child porn and investigation of sexual exploitation of a child. When police responded to the home after being called by the relative last week, Seattle officers verified that child porn was present in the home. Detectives from the department's Internet Crimes Against Children unit and the state ICAC unit searched the home and found piles of child porn and other evidence of sex abuse.

Police also found children's socks, shoes, and underwear. According to police, there were depictions of child murder found in a shed behind the home. Police are also set to search a property the brothers are connected to in Shelton in Mason County. According to court records, Charles Emery formerly worked as a janitor at Seattle Children's Hospital. Police have said that Charles Emery kept handwritten notes describing the murder and sexual assault of young girls.
