James Gorden Meek, a former investigative producer and journalist for ABC News, has been arrested and charged on suspicion of transportation of child pornography.
The Department of Justice announced the 53-year-old from Arlington, Virginia, was taken into custody Tuesday night. If convicted, Meek will receive a mandatory minimum of five years in prison and a maximum of 20.
The arrest follows an investigation led by the FBI Washington Field Office’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, which followed a March 11, 2021 tip from Dropbox to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip indicated that child pornography had allegedly been uploaded to an account with a username and IP addresses associated with James Meek on March 10. The FBI obtained a search warrant for Meek’s Virigina home and searched it April 27, 2022, seizing several devices, including a personal phone and external hard drive, that allegedly contain evidence related to his charge.
