Award-winning Washington Post editor arrested on child pornography charges

An award-winning Washington Post editor, Thomas LeGro, was arrested on charges of possessing child pornography. Authorities found 11 videos depicting child sex abuse material on his work laptop.

During a search of his home, agents noted tampering with evidence and discovered fragments of a hard drive. LeGro, 48, has worked for the newspaper for 18 years and won a Pulitzer Prize for his investigative work. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

The FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force is handling the case, which has led to LeGro being placed on leave.
