A Fox TV news anchor has been arrested for possessing and distributing child p0rnography.

Matt Vereen, 28, a sports reporter for FOX TV’s affiliate WACH FOX 57 in South Carolina, USA was taken into custody last week Wednesday and charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, the state’s Attorney General announced Sunday night, August 25.

The arrest warrants obtained by WIS-TV revealed how investigators with the Columbia Police Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the state’s Internet Crimes against Children Task Force found child p0rnography on his laptop.

One arrest warrant shows that officers found a digital photo on his MacBook of a girl, between the ages of 11 to 13, in a s3xually suggestive pose.

Another warrant claims he purchased a one-minute 32-second video of a nude 13-year-old girl standing over a camera, and another video of a 13-year-old girl twerking naked in the bathroom.

Investigators say Vereen was tracked through Gmail records, Apple records and another record that was redacted.

Vereen has been working as a sports anchor and reporter for WACH FOX 57 for nearly three years, and previously worked as a sports reporter and anchor for KOLR – a news station in Missouri.

In a statement, WACH FOX 57 now says it ‘understands the severity of these allegations,’ and noted that Vereen ‘has been placed on suspension pending an investigation.’

‘As this is a personnel matter, the station will not be commenting further at this time,’ a spokesperson for the news station told WIS-TV.

The Alvin S. Glenn Bond Court has released Vereen on a $40,000 cash bond with conditions such as Vereen is not allowed to have access to personal internet or social media outside of work and no contact with a minor without adult supervision.

He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

A court in India has denied bail to a 44-year-old Nigerian national, Cristian Soporuchukwu, who is currently facing drug trafficking charges in the country.

Cristian Soporuchukwu initially entered India on a business visa but was later arrested over allegations of involvement in the sale of hard drugs.

Reports indicated that after arriving in India, Soporuchukwu travelled through Goa, Delhi, and Mumbai, where he allegedly established links with suspected drug traffickers.

He was accused of purchasing MDMA crystals and distributing them to college students and information technology workers.

According to reports, operatives of the Beguru Police arrested Cristian Soporuchukwu in April 2025 for allegedly selling MDMA crystals around Begur Lake and the AECS Layout Road area.

The New Indian Express reported that the High Court of Karnataka subsequently dismissed the Nigerian’s bail application.

“The anti-narcotics wing seized about 1 kg of MDMA crystals, a pocket weighing machine, 10 zip-lock covers, a mobile phone and a scooter from him,” the report stated.

Justice V. Srishananda, while ruling on the bail application, reportedly held that errors relating to the grounds of arrest could not automatically justify bail in serious narcotics-related offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, NDPS, Act.

The court further noted that Cristian Soporuchukwu had allegedly overstayed his visa in India, according to the report.

The United States Treasury has announced sanctions against Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority.

Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

The statement extended the threat of sanctions to anyone paying the fees, saying they may be providing support to and receiving services from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, and therefore may be exposed to sanctions risk.

“The Iranian military’s latest attempt to extort global maritime trade is proof that Economic Fury has left the regime desperate for cash.

“Treasury has deprived the Iranian regime of revenue for their weapons programs, terrorist proxies, and nuclear ambitions,” Bessent said.

Bessent added that the US has succeeded in disrupting tens of billions of dollars’ worth of revenue from being accessible to Tehran.

The United States has launched new airstrikes in southern Iran.

The strike shot down four one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz and then a ground control site.

A US official revealed that American forces struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.

The official described the strikes as purely defensive, saying the US intended to maintain the ceasefire.

Report says this is the second time in three days that the US has carried out self-defense strikes against Iranian military targets in southern Iran.

Recall that on Monday the US carried out airstrikes against Iranian missile locations and boats that US Central Command said were preparing to launch mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
