Former ABC News reporter James Gordon Meek was hit with a federal child pornography charge this week–almost ten months after the FBI raided his home and seized his laptop and other electronic devices.
Meek– who resigned abruptly from the network after the raid last spring– was arrested late Tuesday night and charged with one count of transportation of child pornography by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia.
If convicted, he faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 20 years, the Department of Justice said in a statement.
In an affidavit unsealed Wednesday, FBI Special Agent Tonya Sturgill Griffith explained that the investigation into Meek’s online activities started in March 2021, when Dropbox alerted authorities to child porn stored in the veteran journalist’s account.
A search warrant was executed at Meek’s Arlington home on April 27, 2022, when investigators seized several devices including an iPhone 8.
“The iPhone 8 contained three chat conversations in which the username ‘Pawny4’ was engaging in sexually explicit conversations where the participants expressed enthusiasm for the sexual abuse of children,” Griffith wrote.

Also on the phone, Meek was found to have received and sent child porn images and videos through the messaging app Kik.
In one particularly disturbing exchange with an unidentified user, Meek allegedly asked “Have you ever raped a toddler girl? It’s amazing.”
“It’s my [sic] dream,” the user replied.

Horrifying details emerge after Eagles rookie Josh Sills’ rape indictment

Eagles rookie guard Josh Sills, who was indicted on rape and kidnapping charges in his native Ohio this week, allegedly forced a woman to perform oral sex on him, according to a police report obtained by TMZ Sports.
The 25-year-old Sills engaged in sexual activity that was not consensual and held the victim against her will in an alleged incident that occurred in Guernsey County on Dec. 5, 2019, prosecutors said in a release on the Ohio attorney general’s website on Wednesday.
According to the police report, Sills allegedly forced a woman to perform oral sex on him for “approximately 20 minutes” in his truck around 2 a.m. “until he did his thing” — which resulted in the woman sustaining bruising in the back of her throat, her inner lip, her right ear and on the back of her left knee. Police said they took photos of the alleged victim’s injuries.
In the report, the woman said Sills had given her and her cousin a ride back to her cousin’s home from a local cafe. The woman and Sills, who were both 21 years old at the time, knew each other for approximately seven or eight years and attended high school together.
Police said the victim told them that Sills grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back in as her cousin exited the vehicle. According to the report, the woman said her cousin “did not think anything of it and shut the door and walked into the house.”
That’s when Sills allegedly attempted to kiss her before grabbing her by the neck and throwing her down on the seat. The woman said Sills allegedly unbuttoned her pants and began groping her while she told him to stop repeatedly.
According to the report, the woman said Sills allegedly sat up, grabbed her by the back of her neck and pulled her on top of him, and said “she was doing this and was not leaving until she did this.”
