Former ABC News Producer Arrested On Charge Of Transporting Child Pornography

James Gordon Meek, 53, was arrested on Tuesday, according to the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors say that an investigation was started with a lead that was sent by Dropbox to the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
That led to a search, authorized by a judge, of Meek’s Arlington, VA home where officers “seized multiple devices that allegedly contained evidence of the transportation of images of child sexual abuse,” according to the DOJ. “The CyberTip reported that a Dropbox account user had uploaded five videos to Dropbox thatwere later confirmed by law enforcement to contain child pornography,” according to the complaint.
