ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A former ABC News producer was arrested Tuesday on charges of transportation of child pornography, newly unsealed court records show.
A criminal complaint filed in the Eastern District of Virginia alleges James Gordon Meek, who resigned from ABC News in April last year, details sexually graphic and explicit conversations Meek allegedly engaged in as he received and shared images of child sexual abuse dating back to as far as 2014.
During the search of his residence, law enforcement seized an iPhone as well as an external hard drive that allegedly contained hundreds of images depicting children engaged in sexual acts, according to the complaint. Meek is also alleged to have participated in group chats where users exchanged pictures and videos of child pornography.
"Review of the electronic devices seized during the search warrant has also resulted in significant evidence that MEEK has engaged directly, and attempted to engage, with minors online on platforms and applications other than Snapchat," the affidavit said.
