According to NBC News, Darrin Bell, a 49-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning leftist political cartoonist from the California Bay Area was arrested Wednesday in Sacramento County on suspicion of possession of child pornography.
He was booked into the Sacramento County jail on possession of child porn, according to Internet Crimes Against Children detectives who were tipped off by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
While searching Bell’s home, investigators discovered 134 videos of child pornography linked to an account owned and controlled by Bell in addition to computer generated/artificial intelligence child pornography, according to authorities, NBC News reported.
Bell previously drew cartoons for the Daily Californian and contributed to the San Francisco Chronicle in addition to other media outlets. He got his start at UC Berkeley.
