Well, we now know what happened and is happening to former ABC News producer James Gordon Meek after seemingly vanishing for months during 2022.
If you remember, I reported on the Rolling Stone piece on how no one had seen Meek in months following the FBI raid on his home. There were theories that Meek disappeared because he was “finishing up a book about Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan,” as reported by independent journalist Greg Price back in October.
Fast forward to present day and the whereabouts of Meek, at least his legal standing, is now known, and it doesn’t look good for the guy.
Rolling Stone came out with a new report on Wednesday detailing the activities and subsequent “transportation of child pornography” criminal complaint against Meek.
Federal prosecutors say their investigation into Meek first began after the cloud storage company Dropbox tipped off the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about the presence of five suspected videos of child sexual exploitation material in a Dropbox account, according to the complaint. A subsequent investigation of the tip allegedly confirmed the videos depicted child pornography and were linked to Meek’s account. That triggered an investigation which allegedly found Meek posing as a minor to solicit pornographic images of children.
After federal agents raided Meek’s home, prosecutors say they found a trove of pornographic images on the producer’s iPhone 8, iPhone 6, an external hard drive, and laptop depicting the abuse of children as young as a toddler.
When FBI agents examined Meek’s iPhone 8, they allegedly found messages he exchanged with another alleged pedophile with whom Meek traded child pornography. In the messages, Meek appeared to confess to having previously abused children. “Have you ever raped a toddler girl? It’s amazing,” he allegedly wrote in one exchange.
James Gordon Meek was never lost, he just allegedly lost his way. If convicted, at least we know where Meek will be — a federal prison.
