A Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged after authorities allegedly discovered child porn on his work computer, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday.

Thomas Pham LeGro, a 48-year-old video editor at the news outlet, was taken into custody on Thursday after FBI agents raided his Washington, DC, home and discovered a folder on his work laptop which contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material, according to Pirro’s office.

I have said before if the government really wants to get rid of their opponents they have the technology and cooperation with the tech companies to simply plant CP on any device they want to. I’m not saying this is what this is but it’s something to consider for anyone online.

Good. However, his defense will be that he’s researching the subject and needed background info. Watch!

Inasmuch as I'm delighted to see this perp suffer, one wonders how Federill offals obtained a search warrant to "discover" child porn on a private computer. Dude must have really blown it leaving a trail of digital breadcrumbs.

Out of curiosity, is it illegal to view or trade in AI-generated child porn? It is supposedly victimless, but it obviously provokes truly horrid behaviors with lifelong consequences. Where is the legal line on this, or is there one yet?

I hope Judge Jeanine nails and neuters this ‘ucker good!
Better yet, do a penectomy.

Yes, AI generated and even drawings depicting CP is illegal.

Having nudes sexual pics of 12 year olds and under is sicko. But a case could be made that have some of Traci Lords original porn vids used to be legal. So what kind of child porn?

Some could be considered entrapment. For example, if you have pictures of naked babies, that could be considered child porn. I remember a co-worker sent me a pic of toddlers with Easter colored bottoms, I warned him that could be considered child porn.

I recommend prudence in condemnation waiting to see the “rest of the story”.

Seriously? Legal Line? What have YOU been viewing? The notion of children being used for demonic adults as entertainment can only come from Baal ...

I love this return to the courtroom for Judge Jeannine. She can take action instead of just talking about it on tv. One tough cookie! Don’t mess with an Italian mamma!

Not a damned thing. It's a world I know NOTHING about. So I asked, knowing that there are people who'd be vile enough to make such an exculpatory claim. I did have trepidation that some a-hole might accuse me of trying to skirt a law in a prurient interest, but no, I thought FReepers had more class than that.

I guess I was wrong. I apologize for that. BTW, you didn't even answer the question.

Journalism is a gay profession, much like interior design, hair dressing, and the U.S. State Department.

After the left got homosexuality legalized, then next they would attempt to get trans normalized and ultimately paedophiles

When I was dating the ex-wife, she had a picture of her son, around 6, standing naked with a cap gun on each hip. She wanted to send it to me. Absolutely not. As his mother, having it in her possession could be explained, but even showing it to another person could be considered “transmitting”

Your mom might have a similar picture of you from 50 years ago.

...what they accuse you of. Every time the left accuses, they should be instantly investigated.

Strange, thing about me without 'class' had NOT one shred of curiosity about the 'legality' to view or trade AI-generated child porn .... Remember to keep that nose down in the rain!!!
