A prominent Sacramento-based comic strip creator, cartoonist and author has been arrested on suspicion of possession and creating child pornography.
Darrin Bell, 49, who won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, was arrested Wednesday morning at his south Sacramento home by Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office investigators. Deputies had served a search warrant against Bell following an investigation by the Sacramento Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Detectives task force.
The Sheriff’s Office said it was the first arrest by the task force connected to AI-generated material, which was incorporated into existing child pornography law on Jan. 1.

The journalism on this story so far has been amazingly deficient - but it appears that these are state law charges at this point. There must be federal jurisdiction in there somewhere because he probably acquired these images online. I would be much more comfortable knowing this guy was being prosecuted by the feds rather than CA.
same as the journalist that “debunked pizzagate.”
I believe some of the journalists that attacked Sound of Freedom had some shady stuff in their pasts also.
This guy was ultra liberal, ultra left, hated deplorable s etc…
Execute every pedo.
Imagine that!
Bell was dragged away screaming “I Dindu Nuffin”
AI generated child porn? Real children or not?
As I recall, you are correct.

On sight.
Just another useful commie idiot.
Why?
The FBI, at least the leadership, has been captured by the Left.
At least the Californians investigated him and arrested him.
Will he be indicted? Wait and see.
If he isn’t, maybe the FBI will pick up the pieces.
Just “transition” them or render them impotent and T free.
We know which way the Pulitzer committee leans.
Prizes are not worth the metal they are made from.
Before we execute on site remember this. There is no doubt in my mind the FIBs will fabricate CP and put it on the phones and emails of the swamp’s political enemies. Law enforcement is not to be trusted. My default position is NEVER trust the government, especially law enforcement. And ESPECIALLY the FIB.
If the guy is found guilty in a trial with REAL evidence then yes, destroy him.
Have you seen federal sentences on this kinda thing? They come down like a ton of bricks. As is fitting. Between leniency in charging and sentencing, as well as parole in the CA system, this schmuck deserves federal prosecution.
