Accuse the Other Side of That Which YOU are Guilty

Let’s talk about the Washington Post cartoonist Darrin Bell, who was forever drawing Donald Trump as a pedophile. 

Michelle Maison says in a recent X post:

Here’s the straight facts on this disgusting piece of garbage named **Darrin Bell**, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist who loved drawing Donald Trump as some kind of s€xual pr€dator while secretly hoarding his own vile collection of child s€x abuse material. In January 2025, Sacramento County Sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children detectives got a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They traced 134 videos of child p*rn*graphy—real child s€x abuse material—to an online account that this sick freak owned and controlled. Investigators also found computer-generated and AI-created child p*rn*graphy during the search of his home. Prosecutors later hit him with multiple felony counts, including possession of more than 600 images depicting s€xual conduct of minors, with at least 10 or more involving kids under age 12. Some of the filth involved digitally altered or fully AI-generated images of children being s€xually abused.

This p€rverted cartoonist was arrested on January 15, 2025, booked into Sacramento County jail on $1 million bail, and initially faced those charges. He pleaded **not guilty** on January 23, 2025, and slithered out on pretrial release with GPS monitoring and other restrictions. The case was amended with even more counts alleging he collected thousands of these explicit images of children. The whole investigation started because he or someone tied to his account was uploading this garbage online.

As of now, in late March 2026, the Sacramento Superior Court case (number 25FE000983) is still **active**. There has been no trial, no guilty plea, and no conviction. A preliminary hearing happened earlier in 2026 with an “other” outcome noted, and the next court date is a settlement conference on April 8, 2026. No resolution yet—this monster is still walking around pretending nothing happened while the system grinds on.

The recent X post you’re referring to falsely screams that he “has just been convicted.” That’s a lie. The arrest happened over 14 months ago, and nothing “just” happened. This guy spent years publicly attacking others as pr€dators in his syndicated strips (like Candorville) and Washington Post cartoons, all while allegedly surrounding himself with the worst kind of child exploitation material imaginable. The hypocrisy is as repulsive as the crimes he’s accused of.

Bottom line: Darrin Bell got caught with a massive stash of child p*rn*graphy, including stuff involving very young kids and AI versions of the same depravity. He denied it all in court and is fighting the charges. Whether he eventually gets fully nailed for it or not, the evidence uncovered paints him as exactly the kind of evil, twisted freak who preys on the innocent while lecturing everyone else. People sharing the post are right to call out the pattern, but the “just convicted” part is inaccurate hype over an old case that’s still dragging on.

And look; we can’t ignore that “Due Process” has served to protect this creep.

More as I find, but don’t be shocked if he’s out on the street again, with no jail time.
