These are the photos that got “Wheel of Fortune” announcer Jim Thornton suspended by the show and grilled by law enforcement.
Thornton was on an American Airlines flight back in May from Charlotte to L.A. … when a passenger eyed his laptop and saw him in a disturbing chatroom. The passenger tells TMZ, she saw images and texts that made it appear it was a chatroom for pedophiles.
One of the messages she saw said, “Couple of cute boys and a hot little girl.” Another read, “All-you-can-eat Boyfett.” referring to a restaurant where they could find underage kids.
And there’s another message references “CP,” The announcer claims he left the chatroom once he found out what it was, although from the timestamps it appears Thornton was in the room for at least 57 minutes.
