More Child Porn Charges For Warren Man

Rhode Island authorities said Christopher Kinney was arrested after devising a bizarre plot to parade a 14-year-old in a diaper at a mall.

WARREN, RI — A Warren man arrested last month in a bizarre child pornography sting is facing more charges. Christopher Kinney, 43, was arrested April 26 after authorities said he tried to arrange to meet a 14-year-old girl at a local mall, parade her around in a diaper and engage in illicit sexual activity.

On Friday, Kinney was charged with manufacturing child porn after authorities said he filmed two minors performing sex acts between 2011 and 2013.

During his arrest last month, police said they found 56 child porn images on his phone. Prosecutors said he communicated with an informant posing as a 14-year-old girl.

Police said officers met Kinney at the mall and arrested him.
