A former investigative journalist with ABC News and father-of-two girls has been sentenced to six years in jail after he was found guilty of possessing child porn.

James Gordon Meek, 53, was sentenced to 72 months in prison after he was caught sending and receiving sexually explicit content involving prepubescent minors while visiting South Carolina in 2020.

Federal prosecutors had initially pushed for the disgraced journalist to receive between 12 and a half and 15 years.

Officials with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia explained how Meek possessed several electronic devices containing images and videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit content.

Earlier this year, he was charged with possessing and transporting child photography following an FBI raid on his Arlington penthouse in April 2022.

In court papers filed last Friday, prosecutors revealed Meek's actions in detail.

In them, prosecutors Zoe Bedell and Whitney Kramer wrote: 'He clearly sought out individuals across the internet for the specific purpose of sharing (and expanding) his [Child Sexual Abuse Material] collection for his sexual gratification.'

Bedell and Kramer noted how Meek both sent and received pornography of 'infants and toddlers' together with content 'depicting sadistic and masochistic abuse of prepubescent children.'

Meek, who is divorced, would solicit lewd images from underage individuals and even pose 'as a minor himself.'

An FBI affidavit told how evidence was also seized showing Meek using Snapchat and other apps to pressure minors into sending him sexually explicit images.

In some of those communications, Meek portrayed himself as a girl.

Text messages were found by police that saw Meek conversing with two girls...

Just looking at his face would be enough to at least open an investigation.

He looks like Toobin.
We should probably investigate all men, who look like Toobin.
As a precaution.

This persists because our Enemedia serves in unison to keep the issue hidden.

Does management here still want the anons that sounded the Pizza-gate alert, quarantined for their efforts?

That would be a start...

What is it with ALL THESE LIBERALS? They have a huge penchant for perversion and molesting
children. It's not just one outlier. It is month after month of prominent liberal media personalities being
indicted on child molestation, child pornography, and sexual perversion charges. Month after month.

What’s with the reduced sentencing? Did he get the liberal journalist’s discount or something? Perhaps real justice will be administered after his arrival at the Big House!

Always remember, these are the people who come across our television screens, night after night, telling us conservatives how we’re wrong about everything, that we’re conspiracy theorists and we’re just plain ignorant. Never forget.
