Three Seattle brothers, aged 78 to 82, were arrested Monday for 
allegedly possessing child pornography to “satiate their deeply 
rooted deviant interests,” police said.

The brothers' home was jampacked with sexual photos and videos 
of young girls, children’s toys, girls’ clothing and graphic 
notes on child sex abuse and homicide, according to police and 
prosecutors.

The three – Charles Emery, 82; Thomas Emery, 80; and Edwin 
Emery, 70 – were arrested Monday and charged with two counts of 
second-degree possession of child pornography.

They are being held on $500,000 bail, the Seattle Times reported.

Police said Edwin Emery admitted to molesting female family 
members in the past but there was no immediate evidence of other 
physical crimes.

According to police, the brothers, who lived in the same home 
for more than 50 years, spent “a lifetime accumulating” their 
collection of images and videos.

“The investigation revealed that each of the defendants has a 
sexual interest in minor children and have shared the majority 
of their lives sexually abusing children to whom they had access 
and exploiting children depicted in child pornography,” Cecelia 
Gregson, senior deputy prosecutor with King County, wrote in the 
charging papers.

Police said Edwin Emery admitted to molesting female family 
members in the past. Police said the evidence was uncovered when 
a family member cleaning the home discovered boxes of obscene 
material in the garage. The family member is the legal guardian 
to the oldest brother, Charles Emery, who was recently moved 
into a senior residential home because of his dementia.

In the boxes, investigators found a large quantity of items 
including “handwritten notes detailing the kidnapping, 
torturing, raping and murdering of young girls.”

Police said Thomas and Edwin Emery claimed they hadn’t gone into 
the garage for years and that it had contained “Charles’ hobby.” 
However, a more than 30-hour search of the brothers’ home 
uncovered sexual images of children throughout the home.

Investigators also found dozens of pairs of girls’ penny 
loafers, underwear and toys.

A single-serving vodka bottle and note indicating the alcohol 
had been given to a child to facilitate the sexual abuse was 
also found.

The brothers had lived in the home since 1962. They never 
married or had biological children of their own.

This was not the first time the Emery brothers have been 
investigated for child pornography.

In 2013, Edwin Emery took his computer to get serviced and staff 
contacted police after finding sexual images of minors. While he 
was investigated, charges were no filed.

Prosecutors did not indicate why charges weren’t filed at the 
time, the Seattle Times reported.

The newspaper said investigators are searching additional 
properties linked to the brothers for “the presence of child 
exploitation materials and evidence of kidnapping, abuse, and 
child homicide.”
