"Darrin Bell, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist whose work appears in the Washington Post and other newspapers across the U.S., has been arrested for possessing child pornography, according to law enforcement in California."

Sgt. Amar Gandhi, of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, said the investigation began after someone uploaded 18 files containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to an online service. Further investigation revealed a total of 134 videos containing CSAM.

A search warrant was executed at Bell’s home on Wednesday after it was determined that he owned and controlled the account, Sgt. Gandhi said. Bell was taken into custody and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail for CSAM possession.

Gandhi said this is the first case in Sacramento County involving the possession of AI-generated child pornography. The law making this a criminal offense took effect on January 1.

Bell, who is 49, is being held on $1 million bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday."

Can anyone recognize the orange book on the shelf behind him? I can only make out “The Tale” but not the picture or the bottom words. At first I though “ The Tale of peter rabbit” but it doesn’t match any edition I could find.

Does that hand on the shelf have bandaids on the fingers? Their ritual they do when they cut themselves to “feel the pain.”
