A Washington Post editor who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Senate candidate Roy Moore and his alleged attraction to minor teen girls, was arrested for possessing child pornography.
Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, was arrested on Thursday and made his first appearance in US District Court on Friday.
According to federal prosecutors, a review of LeGro’s laptop revealed a folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material.
Thomas Pham LeGro’s bio at the Washington Post bragged about his coverage of GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore. Recall that Roy Moore was lambasted over his alleged attraction to minor teen girls back in the 70s.
“In 2018, Tom LeGro was part of a team of Post reporters who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Senate candidacy of Roy Moore and a subsequent effort to discredit The Post’s reporting. As Deputy Director of Video, Tom oversees an award-winning team of video journalists who work across the newsroom, including in National, Climate, Metro, Style and Technology. Tom joined Video in 2013 as an editor on the breaking-news desk and in 2015 became the senior producer overseeing the International, Style and Technology teams. In 2017, he was part of the team of Post reporters awarded a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Senate candidacy of Roy Moore and the subsequent effort to discredit The Post’s reporting. Tom was promoted to executive producer in 2021, overseeing the Politics, National, International and Technology teams. Tom first worked for The Post from 2000 to 2006 in Sports, as a news aide and then later as a copy editor. From 2006 to 2013, Tom was a reporter-producer for “PBS NewsHour,” covering arts and culture, before returning to The Post,” LeGro’s bio read.
Per the DC US Attorney’s Office:
Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, made his first appearance today in U.S. District Court for allegedly possessing child pornography. LeGro, a journalist at the Washington Post and resident of the District of Columbia, was arrested yesterday and taken into custody following a search of his home.
The charges were announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Pirro thanks FBI Assistant Director in Charge Steven J. Jensen and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department for their ongoing efforts in this investigation.
On June 26, 2025, FBI agents executed a search warrant at LeGro’s residence and seized several electronic devices. A review of LeGro’s work laptop revealed a folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material.
During the execution of the search warrant agents observed what appeared to be fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro’s work laptop was found.
This case is being investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, which is composed of FBI agents, along with other federal agents and detectives from northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. The task force is charged with investigating and bringing federal charges against individuals engaged in the exploitation of children and those engaged in human trafficking.

Disingenuous reporter.
His defense is going to be he was researching porn producers on the web.

Gee ... I never would have guessed ...
I’d be interested to see what they can recover from that smashed hard drive.
“..work laptop.”
Does that mean there is a good chance that this laptop has been connected to the Washington Post server? They should seize and carefully search that server to see if he stashed kiddie porn on it!
The smashed hard drive does elicit consciousness of guilt suspicions. Bury the perv.
Karma can sure be a Hillary.

No, I'm actually not...
Another example of leftist projectionism.
“A Washington Post editor who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Senate candidate Roy Moore and his alleged attraction to minor teen girls”
Roy Moore was never a pedophile and anybody who thinks he fell for the propaganda. This actual pedophile got a Pulitzer Prize for nothing more than ruining Moore’s reputation and getting him knocked out of the election.
Alabama has two of the best senators now, but what they did to Judge Roy was criminal. Finally the results just went blinky like Arizona does and they installed that commie Doug Jones, with McConnell’s blessing.
Takes one to know one I guess.

I don’t recall Moore being found guilty of any sexual misconduct, regardless of the age of the females. Perhaps he was a bit flirty, but knew what line not to cross. Maybe someone can refresh my memory.
I remember as a 14 year old freshman boy how some of my female classmates were starting to look as old as the senior girls. I didn’t need to shave until I was 19.
I grew up with 14 year old girls extremely active
Banging the snot out of college guys and proud of it
Some girls learn early the power and they like it
