UMVA has learned that a violent anti-ICE rioter, identified as Brendan John Geier, was arrested and charged last week for kicking and biting federal agents during protests in Newark, leaving one agent with severe bite wounds.
The brutal attack was captured in gruesome photos, showing gashes and teeth marks on the agents' skin. The images are a stark contrast to claims that the protests were "peaceful."
Acting Attorney General Blanche condemned the attack, stating, "We will not tolerate vicious attacks on ICE officers. Assault a federal officer, and you'll be held accountable." The Justice Department charged Geier with assaulting federal agents.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Geier has a dark past. He was previously charged with sexual abuse of children related to the dissemination and possession of child pornography in Pennsylvania. The charges were filed in 2019.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Geier's troubles began on September 17, 2018, when he allegedly uploaded seven digital images of suspected child pornography through "Skype." The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported the incident to authorities.
Investigators identified Geier's IP address and device, leading to a search warrant at his residence in Kutztown University, Pennsylvania. Forensic examination of his laptop and iPhone yielded numerous digital images of suspected child pornography.
Geier pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in 2021 and was sentenced to two years' probation. He was ordered to have "no contact with anyone under the age of 18" and undergo "sex offender evaluation and treatment."
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Geier describes himself as a "shut-in" with "high-functioning autism" who spends most of his time alone in his room. His online presence is largely devoted to Japanese animation and rock music.
If convicted of the assault charge, Geier faces a maximum of 20 years behind bars and a $250,000 fine. The Justice Department is pursuing the case, determined to hold him accountable for his violent actions.
