Feds: Ex-ABC News Star Knew Girl He ‘Pressured’ for Nudes Was Only 16
A series of newly unsealed letters between the feds and attorneys for the arrested journalist James Gordon Meek revealed that a 16-year-old girl told investigators that Meek sexted with her despite her telling him she was underage.
Naked and partially naked photos of the teenager—that included her Snapchat username in the corner of the screenshots—were recovered from a phone during a raid of Meek’s home last year in Arlington, Virginia, the FBI wrote in an arrest affidavit filed in February.
The filings don’t outline how Meek and the teen first came into contact, or what their level of contact was, but said investigators discovered saved Snapchat messages between the two. Those messages did not include photos and weren’t the entirety of their conversations, however, the affidavit said.
