A former Jeopardy! champion was just arrested in New Hampshire and charged with six felony Class A complaints of possession of child pornography. This all happened after the Exeter Police Department joined forces with the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, which kicked off in March.

Here is what you need to know about the arrest, the charges, and what could happen to the former Jeopardy! champion.

Former Jeopardy! Champion Arrested For Child Porn

Brendan DuBois was a Jeopardy! champion in Season 29 in 2012. He won his first game on September 28, 2012, and won before losing in his very next appearance, leaving as just a one-game champion. His total winnings were $24,000. He also appeared on The Chase and won $17,500 in 2015.

With ten movies and five episodes of TV shows to his credit for 2023, Dermot Mulroney seems to be vying to fill the gap left by the retirement of Bruce Willis. Ruthless proves he’s already mastered sleepwalking through a film every bit as well as he could. Sadly, he won’t be the only one sleeping as this film manages to make human trafficking deadly, deadly dull, that is.

Harry just wanted to go watch a movie. But he ends up telling off some kid who isn’t listening when his date says no. That, of course, leads to the kid pulling a knife on him in the parking lot. That’s not a good idea because Harry is a man...

The Losers continue their journey through Stephen King‘s time-traveling drama: 11/22/63. In the second of six episodes, the Losers head to Derry, Maine, where they reunite with familiar faces and meet a new villain in King’s Dominion: Frank Dunning.

Along the way, they also discuss the evolution of Jake Epping — err, George Amberson — and how this section of the book, “The Janitor’s Father”, affords Constant Readers the perfect opportunity to stakeout our main character … during a stakeout of his own.

Stream the episode below and return next week when the Losers continue their coverage with “Pt. 3: Living in the Past”. For further adventures, join the Club via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.

Look, we would’ve been perfectly happy enjoying 11/22/63 without getting into the weeds of the JFK conspiracy, but Stephen King himself took pains to detail how his research for the book convinced him that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. “It is very, very difficult for a reasonable person to believe otherwise,” he writes in the book’s afterword. Since that’s no fun, we sought out some smart people to provide a counterpoint and share their own thoughts about the book’s depictions of Oswald, Kennedy, and the assassination.

In this episode, The Losers’ Club speaks with Blowback co-host (and recent King convert) Brendan James about 11/22/63‘s Oswald, conspiracy in the 21st century, and King’s political evolution over the years — from the paranoia of The Stand to the regret of Hearts in Atlantis to the ghastly spirit of Donald Trump pervading his latest novels (and Twitter account). Finally, Brendan...

Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump’s top immigration advisers, advocated using U.S. predator drones in 2018 to blow up migrant boats full of unarmed civilians, according to an upcoming book by a former administration official.

In a passage reviewed by Rolling Stone, former Trump Department of Homeland Security appointee Miles Taylor writes about an April 2018 conversation in which Miller allegedly advocated an attack on a migrant ship headed for the United States. Miller, Taylor writes, argued for the potential mass killing of civilians by suggesting they were not protected under the U.
