Pulitzer-Winning Washington Post Executive Charged with Possessing Child Pornography

  • Thomas Pham LeGro, who serves as the Washington Post’s deputy director of video, was taken into custody at his home in Washington, D.C., on June 26, facing charges related to child pornography.
  • The FBI executed a search warrant at LeGro's residence after his name surfaced in a digital currency investigation linked to child pornography access dating back to 2005.
  • Agents seized several electronics including a laptop containing a folder of 11 videos showing child sexual abuse material and found broken hard drive pieces in LeGro’s basement hallway.
  • LeGro, 48, has worked at The Washington Post for over 18 years, was part of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winning team for reporting on Roy Moore’s alleged sexual misconduct, and has been placed on leave amid the investigation.
  • LeGro appeared in federal court on Friday and requested a public defender, although the judge expressed doubts about his eligibility. A detention hearing is set for Monday as part of the DOJ’s Project Safe Childhood Initiative.
