Gosnell Jr., 68, was arrested on September 16, 2025, and charged with possessing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), following a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. 联邦国土安全调查局在他家中执行搜查令,发现一个闪存盘,上面有许多关于从事性行为的未成年人的图像和视频,以及与一家设在联合王国的CSAM分销商有关的金融交易。 Federal Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at his home, uncovering a flash drive with numerous images and videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, along with financial transactions linked to a UK-based CSAM distributor. 南卡罗来纳州最高法院以对公共安全和司法构成重大威胁为由,暂停Gosnell的司法职务。 The South Carolina Supreme Court suspended Gosnell from judicial duties, citing a substantial threat to public safety and justice. 他预定参加一次保释听证会,查尔斯顿州政府已取消他获得州资源的权利。 He is scheduled for a bond hearing, and the Charleston County Government has revoked his access to county resources. 这一案例是美国司法部安全儿童项目倡议的一部分。 This case is part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Childhood initiative.
