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.
Meek joined ABC News' Washington bureau as an investigative producer in 2013 and was based in Virginia returned to Virginia with an iPhone containing the child sex abuse material (CSAM).
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.'

Just looking at his face would be enough to at least open an investigation.
Damn liberal “media” toads.
He looks like Toobin.
We should probably investigate all men, who look like Toobin.
As a precaution.
More “hoax”.
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?
BUT the hundreds of child sex traffickers pouring across our Southern borders every month on behalf of the Biden administration??????
“We should probably investigate all men, who look like Toobin. As a precaution.”
That would be a start...
Isn’t this the guy that officially “debunked” pedophile
activity at Comet Ping Pong Pizza?

Ecce Homo
Investigative journalist with ABC News
Dots connected
He wrote the story for ABC debunking pizza gate. Funny how that works.
Why, does he have AC's home movies?
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!
It should be a death sentence.
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.
Exactly right.
