This story discusses child sexual abuse content. More details are coming to light about the incident that led to Jim Thornton’s exit. After Wheel of Fortune suspended its longtime announcer on Sept. 1 over undisclosed allegations from an American Airlines flight, the passenger involved in the May incident told TMZ that she saw messages on his computer that made it seem like he was in a chat room for pedophiles. The outlet obtained photos allegedly showing Thornton’s computer on his tray table with messages in a chat room discussing "a couple of cute boys and a hot little girl" as well as "CP," which the passenger believes stood for child pornography. Other messages in the chat room read, "saunters to the bathroom for a quick w–k on the 737" and "does it count as the mile high club if its a h—job?" per the photos. It’s unclear if Thornton was the one who sent any of the messages. Thornton’s lawyer Allison Hart told TMZ that the chat room is “not unlawful" and "there is no unlawful child pornography or other pedophilic content." She added, "My client never viewed, downloaded or consumed any child pornography whether on that commercial flight in May or at any other time.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1435740/wheel-of-fortunes-jim-thornton-denies-pedophile-chat-room-plane-messages
