Dumb Criminals: UFO Conspiracy Theorist Arrested On Child Porn Charges Claims Government Hoax

On a sunny day in April 2013, police swarmed a suburban Colorado home to execute a search warrant on suspicion of child pornography. Their suspect, a well-known UFO conspiracy theorist and self-proclaimed alien abductee, walked outside to see investigators approach his house. That's when police say he ran.

Stan Romanek of Loveland has gained a cult-like following for his videos, talks, and supposed proof of extraterrestrial visitations.

While fans heralded his work and critics laughed him off, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Loveland Police Department were compiling evidence to arrest the 51-year-old man on child porn charges.

Last month, the Loveland Police Department busted a man who, for decades, had pointed a finger at the government, accusing officials of concealing the truth about UFOs.

A 54-page document obtained by The Huffington Post contains police reports detailing an investigation that dates back to 2008. It also paints a striking narrative of Romanek himself, who adamantly believes that his arrest is part of a conspiracy to silence his work.
