A Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged after authorities allegedly discovered child porn on his work computer, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday.
Thomas Pham LeGro, a 48-year-old video editor at the news outlet, was taken into custody on Thursday after FBI agents raided his Washington, DC, home and discovered a folder on his work laptop which contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material, according to Pirro’s office.
FBI agents also discovered “fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro’s work laptop was found,” during the execution of the search warrant. […]
As a member of WaPo’s video department, he was part of a team of reporters that won a prestigious Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for coverage of former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Moore threatened to sue the Washington Post that year after the outlet published allegations that he romantically pursued a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s, which he vehemently denied.
A spokesperson for the Washington Post said Legro has been placed on leave.

Hahahaha ha ha … just another weekend, fill-in, Fox News Host … like Pete Hegseth … chosen by Trump. Yep. And they’re dropping some big bombs. We’re only 0.5 years into Trump II … man o man am I gonna be feasting on popcorn for the next 3.5 years.
Save some popcorn for the New York mayoral election. And if Mamdani wins, it will be non-stop popcorn for another 3 years. As for the “journalist”, best of luck in prison.
Mamdani (the Muslim fascist) said NYC will be the model for other cities if he becomes Mayor. The model already exists….it’s called Detroit.
Interesting, somebody tipped him off. He had time to bust a hard drive but…
Was he really so dumb that he had a folder full of kiddie porn on his work computer?
Or could it be that someone who wanted to discredit him (someone with government connections perhaps?) put that folder on his computer without his knowledge, hmm…??
I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist (because I am), but just for the record, kiddie porn is some pretty sick stuff. There’s none on my computer, and I’ll never put any on it!
So if anyone ever finds any on my computer… you’ll know.
And forgive my prurient interest … but was the kiddie porn male or female? Gay or straight? Is he a gay pederast or a straight pederast? I have my guess.
MT, I don’t know if you revisit the comments at previous posts but wanted to let you know I replied to your questions about my defence of Sundance over at SCOTUS: “The Party’s Over”
As I live in Europe, I can’t always write a timely response to comments made when I’m in slumberville.
Thanks!
“Was he really so dumb that he had a folder full of kiddie porn on his work computer?”
He just couldn’t get through the day, without a peek now and then.
Some people are so addicted.
There may be a special place for pedos in hell.
On earth there should be a special hell for them.
How was it noted in Pirates of the Caribbean? “A long drop & a short stop?”
This does not exonerate LeGro, but the evidence that Roy Moore sought relations with underage girls is substantial. He even admitted to dating teenage girls when he was in his thirties, although he was careful to claim he did nothing illegal.
In short, it’s entirely possible both men take an interest in age-inappropriate women.
You are equating teenage with underage, which isn’t necessarily always the case.
No, but it doesn’t help his case.
And there are a bunch of women who claim he did molest them when they were underage.
Yeah, she said, he said. Not very convincing on the face of it.
You also assume LeGro’s interest is in females.
I recall that Roy Moore was said to have dated high school cheerleaders, and taken them out to dinner. That seems to have been the extent of his “seeking relations” with them. This of course is indistinguishable from buggering boys, at least if you’re a marmot to whom all human sex is an incomprehensible mystery.
I should say that I have rarely if ever so much as encountered a cheerleader that I didn’t seek relations with, by the kind of standards you’re applying. Did no one any harm.
