Arrested in September 2025 after online activity tipped federal agents, the case was set for trial in August. With possible sentences of up to 20 years and fines of $250,000 per charge, plus mandatory registration as a sex offender, the stakes are high. The case is linked to 69-year-old John Badger Thorpe, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and distribution and was identified as someone Gosnell communicated with online about minors. The deal awaits judicial approval, with the outcome still uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
