A Utah inventor and entrepreneur is facing a serious criminal charge for allegedly accepting child sexual abuse material, Us Weekly has learned.

Robert Edwards, who is the creator of the “Squatty Potty,” has been indicted by a federal grand jury on a receipt of child pornography charge.

The indictment was returned on February 10, according to authorities, and Edwards was arrested two days later on February 12.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement that Edwards, 50, “knowingly received multiple images of child sexual abuse material” between March 2021 and November 2025.

He was a Utah resident at the time he “knowingly received multiple images of child sexual abuse material,” according to the statement.

Edwards was caught by an undercover FBI agent, who’d created an online profile in March 2021, and joined a group chat “used to trade child sexual abuse material.”

The release noted that the “online meeting room was viewing a collection of child sexual abuse material videos, which were being streamed on the main screen. Participants in the meeting were visible, including one user later identified as Edwards.”

Federal investigators said it was in May 2025 that they learned that “Edwards was suspected of purchasing additional child sexual abuse material via his PayPal account.”

The release states that on November 4, 2025, law enforcement obtained a warrant to search Edwards and his home.

“Agents seized a cell phone from his vehicle, which contained multiple videos and images of child sexual abuse material, some of which were downloaded onto the cell phone just two weeks before the search warrant was executed,” the press release added. “At Edwards’ residence, law enforcement seized additional devices and found additional child sexual abuse material files.”

Edwards is due for a detention hearing in federal court on March 2.

It was unclear Tuesday, February 24, who Edwards’ lawyer is, and plea information for the inventor was unavailable,

Edwards and his mother, Judy, conceived the Squatty Potty — a footstool that hugs the base of your toilet, designed to put you in the optimal position for a bowel movement — back in 2011. It made him a millionaire.

The Squatty Potty was actually introduced on the reality show Shark Tank, where Edwards’ pitch was accepted by entrepreneur and TV personality Lori Grier, who invested a whopping $350,000 into the company for a 10% equity stake.

The U-shaped Squatty Potty claims to relieve constipation, and can “unkink your colon,” allegedly preventing users from having to strain. However, specific medical claims made by the company have not been medically tested, according to online consumer reports.

Today, the Squatty Potty company continues releasing the stools that help you release stools, as well as other toilet-related products,

Wikipedia claims more than five million Squatty Potty have been sold.

The company enjoyed a sales boon in 2015, when its ad, “This Unicorn Changed the Way I Poop,” went viral. In the ad, a unicorn defecates soft serve ice cream to the delight of children, and a prince character enters to give his approval to squatting while pooping.

Daniel Radcliffe is among the most recognizable faces in the world. He shot to fame very early in life as Harry Potter, along with cast mates Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. The trio, in the first decade of their careers, brought the fan-favorite characters to life, all the while making and breaking several box office milestones and impacting pop culture.

After the eight-part franchise wrapped up, the actors went on to do other projects, but none touched the same level of universal appreciation. Nonetheless, Radcliffe made interesting career choices, like the horror fantasy feature Horns, which over the years has emerged as a streaming favorite, a villainous turn in The Lost City, the surrealist comedy-drama Swiss Army Man, among others.

Things took an interesting turn for Radcliffe when the internet was abuzz with his fan casting as MCU’s Wolverine, a character made iconic by Hugh Jackman. While the latter reprised the role in Deadpool and Wolverine, some fans are still hoping to see Radcliffe in the iconic role. However, the actor recently addressed the rumors, calling them “very flattering,” though denying any possibility of them coming true. He told ComicBook:

“It was not. It was never real. It was a very flattering internet rumor. I was very happy about it, but it was never suggested in any kind of way by anybody with any power to make that happen. And, honestly, you would be stupid not to consider something like that, but if they do other Wolverines, being the person who follows Hugh Jackman is not on my bucket list for anything. For any role of his, particularly the role he has made the most iconic of his career, I am happy not to be doing that and let him keep doing it.”

Daniel Radcliffe Can be Seen in ‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’

Adding to his versatile roles, Radcliffe is currently seen in NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, along with legendary comedian Tracy Morgan. In Collider’s review, Tania Hussain writes: “Radcliffe’s Arthur is the perfect balance to Morgan because the actor commits to his character’s self-seriousness so much that it becomes the comedy. Nailing that tonal tightrope too, he pivots most refreshingly from dry, British discomfort to genuinely raw self-pity without a genre shift. Playing someone who wants to be this Werner Herzog, authoritative documentarian but keeps giving himself away with tiny humorous reactions that you need to see to believe, Radcliffe treats Arthur less like a man behind the camera and more a security blanket for his own emotional issues, and that’s where his performance gets sneakily rich.”

As The Rookie continues its eighth season, the show will make an exciting crossover in its upcoming episode. This crime drama had crossover episodes in the past, but this will be the first where it’s not tied to The Rookie universe. Instead, the show will cross over to another IP that not only leans toward a different genre, but also a different format.

The Rookie is a crime drama starring Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, a 40-year-old who relocates to Los Angeles to become an LAPD officer and has to prove himself despite his age. The series is loosely inspired by executive producer William Norcross, who joined the LAPD in his mid-40s. While the show includes moments of humor, it remains grounded as Nolan faces high-risk situations and intense challenges on the job. But what happens when a series known for its serious tone collides with an online show built around comedy?

ABC has released details for The Rookie’s 9th episode, titled “Fun and Games,” revealing that it will be a crossover episode with the online game show, Game Changer, by Dropout. It was reported that the Dropout studio, where Game Changer is filmed, would be the scene of a crime due to a robbery report, and that one of the people in the studio would be a “familiar face” to Nolan. The plot reads:

“Harper and Miles feel the weight of their recent mistakes, while Harper is tasked with training Miles. Nolan and Celina are dispatched to a robbery call where Nolan encounters a familiar face.”

This Game Changer crossover will star Dropout’s CEO and game show host, Sam Reich, along with other Dropout stars: Vic Michaelis, Jacob Wysocki, Zac Oyama, and Anna Garcia. The episode will air on March 2 and will be available to stream on Hulu the next day.

What’s ‘Game Changer’ About?

Game Changer is a comedy web show created by Dropout that first aired in 2019 and is still showing to this day. According to Polygon, the show combines “improv comedy, puzzle solving, fierce competition, and a prankster ethos.” While the show mostly features returning faces from CollegeHumor, like Brenan Lee Mulligan, it also had special episodes where celebrities participated, like Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian), Michael Winslow (Spaceballs), Sarah Natochenny (Pokémon), Tony Hawk, and Howie Mandel (American Idol), to name a few.

Game Changer is one of many web shows available on Dropout. Other shows include Make Some Noise, Dimension 20, Um, Actually, and, recently, Reich announced on social media that Dropout will be the home of the online web series and British TV show Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.

New episodes of The Rookie air on ABC and are available to stream on Hulu. Follow Collider to stay up to date with the latest updates.

A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Americans can’t sue the U.S. Postal Service, per the Associated Press. And that’s the case even when employees deliberately refuse to deliver mail. By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled against a Texas landlord, Lebene Konan.

Supreme Court Justices Shut Down Postal Lawsuit

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for a majority of five conservative justices. He said the federal law that generally shields the Postal Service from lawsuits over missing, lost and undelivered mail includes “the intentional nondelivery of mail.”

President Donald Trump’s administration had warned that a ruling in favor of the Texas landlord would have led to a flood of similar lawsuits against the cash-poor Postal Service.

Meanwhile, in dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that the protection against lawsuits is broad. However, she said it does not extend to situations in which employees did not deliver mail for a malicious reason. Justice Neil Gorsuch joined his three liberal colleagues in dissent.

Landlord Says Postal Workers Displayed Prejudice

Lebene Konan alleged her mail was intentionally withheld for two years. Konan, who is Black, claims racial prejudice played a role in postal employees’ actions. Konan is also a real estate agent and an insurance agent. She claims two employees at a post office in Euless, Texas, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, deliberately didn’t deliver mail belonging to her and her tenants. She alleges the reason is because they didn’t like that she is Black and owns multiple properties.

According to court documents, the dispute began when Konan discovered the Postal Service had changed the mailbox key for one of her rental properties without her knowledge. The change prevented her from collecting and distributing tenants’ mail from the box. When she contacted the local post office, she was told she wouldn’t receive a new key or regular delivery until she proved she owned the property. She did so, the documents say, but the mail problems continued. Those problems didn’t stop even when the USPS inspector general instructed the mail to be delivered.

Lebene Konan And Her Tenants Missed Important Mail

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Postal Service even as employees allegedly marked some of the mail as undeliverable or return to sender. As a result, Konan and her tenants failed to receive important mail such as bills, medications and car titles, according to the lawsuit.

Also, Konan claims she lost rental income because some tenants moved out due to the situation. After filing dozens of complaints with postal officials, Konan finally filed a lawsuit under the 1946 Federal Tort Claims Act. That law allows some lawsuits against the government. The case focused on the reach of the special postal exemption under the law.

Associated Press writer Mark Sherman contributed to this report via AP Newsroom. 

General Hospital fans, we have got another rumor roundup for you from a credible inside source that we get leaks from. We’re going to chat about a major twist for Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), a shocker for Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) I didn’t see coming. And two big deaths ahead, including a particularly shocking exit predicted.

We’re going to dive into all the scoop from our source. Our source has a very good track record. They dropped Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) as Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) killer way ahead of time, Chad Duell’s exit as Michael Corinthos. And just lots of confirmed stuff. A lot of their stuff pans out and that’s why I keep sharing it. Plus, we all love gossip and leaks. But as always, these are not official spoilers from the ABC network. I refer to these leaks as rumors unless and until they’re confirmed.

Will Kelly Monaco Return to General Hospital as Sam McCall?

With that caveat, let’s dive in. First, we’ve got an update on a past leak that we shared. There was talk about bringing back Kelly Monaco to GH and we’ve got some additional info on how this has gone. Rumor has it, the source says that Sam McCall‘s return was an idea floated by somebody at ABC Disney.

They thought it would help ratings and pick up some lackluster storylines. But that same inside source says that Frank Valentini shut it down and said he didn’t want Kelly Monaco back. I’d like to have Sam back, but if you ever saw the little clip after Kelly Monaco taped her very last scene, everybody was there because she had been on the soap for two decades.

Everybody was there. She finished her last scene and everybody clapped. She took a little bow. Everybody but Frank clapped. I’ve seen the video, so I just doubt he would relent on this.

Dante and Elizabeth Chemistry Tests and Becky Herbst Exit Rumors

Related to this, our source says they heard chatter that GH might be chemistry testing Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). They do have scenes together this week, so watch for a flirty vibe and see if this is true.

Another source said that Rebecca Herbst may be leaving. General Hospital barely uses her, so in that regard, I think that is plausible. However, Liz and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) seem ready to rekindle, so it would be strange to flip her to Dante. Liz and Ric just had a date and they kissed. I hope Liz sticks around and so does Ric. And they put Dante with somebody else.

GH actually let Rebecca Herbst go years ago, but then the soap caved in the face of a huge outpouring of fan outrage. They put her back on contract. I think there was a six or eight-week gap between when they asked her to leave, the fan outrage. And then them backing down and bringing her back.

I would be interested to see if GH had the stones to try it again. If they were going to get rid of Becky, having her and Ric leave town together makes sense, but hopefully, it won’t happen.

Jonathan Jackson’s Limited Return as Lucky Spencer

Our source says Frank Valentini wanted Jonathan Jackson back as Lucky Spencer, but Jonathan Jackson said no to any long-term return because his family is in Nashville and it’s just too hard.

We talked before in our last rumor roundup about Eden McCoy possibly leaving as Josslyn Jacks. The source said it might be a case like with Chad Duell grieving the death of a parent, as Eden McCoy’s mom died after a struggle with cancer.

Now we’ve got more info from the leaker. And the insider says Eden McCoy decided not to renew her contract and that General Hospital would be recasting the role of Josslyn Jacks.

Josh Swickard and Harrison Chase Exit Rumors

We got more confirmation saying Josh Swickard is definitely leaving and that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) will be written out. Although the source has confirmed it three times now, I’m still going to call Josh Swickard’s exit a rumor because it hasn’t been confirmed by the actor himself, the soap, or the network.

If you’ve noticed, Finola Hughes is no longer listed in the contract section of the GH credits. We had some clarification from the source on that. They said the Anna Devane actress is the one who requested to be taken off contract. It was reportedly Finola Hughes’ request.

Steve Burton Jason Morgan Return Date and New Contract Details

Speaking of recent exits, we have an update on Steve Burton. It is now confirmed that we have another four weeks of Jason Morgan, give or take a couple of days, until late March. That is info straight from the actor, so it is confirmed.

Our leaker told us that Steve Burton signed a new contract before he left. Steve Burton then confirmed he would be back taping Jason scenes in June. His contract would have ended before then, so it makes sense that he would have inked a new deal before going out.

We also heard that Steve wasn’t happy with his storyline or the Jason Morgan and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) pairing. And that may be why the rumor from our source says they’re testing a new love interest for Jason.

Kelly Thiebaud said in an interview that she was shocked when she heard Steve Burton was leaving for so long. The Britt Westbourne actress said she confronted Steve Burton, and when she heard his reasons for leaving the role of Jason temporarily, she understood but felt really let down. Kelly said it’s been really hard and she’s sad that he is leaving.

Debunking General Hospital Casting Rumors for Gio and Emma

Just real quick before we get to the death info and the huge Lulu Spencer and Carly Corinthos Spencer news, I want to debunk a couple of things. First, there’s a rumor Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) is leaving GH. His contract should be up for renewal in April. And the scoop says that his rumored final air date is mid-June.

This is from somebody who’s not my usual leaker. It’s somebody else whose track record I don’t have a way to verify because they’re new on my radar. I’m taking that with a whole block of salt. There’s also been chatter that Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) was out for good. That was just clickbait nonsense.

Be careful what channels you decide to go read outrageous headlines on. Brayden Bruner is sticking around as Emma. That’s been confirmed. That’s another reason I doubt Gio’s leaving because they need a younger set and those two are coupled up.

Two Major Onscreen GH Deaths and WSB Storyline Conclusion

Let’s talk deaths. There are supposed to be two onscreen deaths, one in the spring and one in the summer. I think the source specified “onscreen” to not confuse it with the upcoming offscreen deaths of Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and Lesley Webber (Denise Alexander).

We’ve heard that the Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) thing wraps in April, so one of them may die. Hopefully Sidwell. Related to that, the leaker said the WSB story is going to wrap up sooner than they had initially planned. Fan fatigue is my guess; it has been dragging.

Carly Spencer’s Discovery and the Willow Tait Feud

Now, let’s talk about Carly and then Lulu. The leakers said that Carly is going to figure out what happened to Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) or figure out that he’s trying to communicate. That would be cool because Carly would probably think he deserves his fate.

On the flip, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) has done Michael dirty. I think Carly’s hatred for Willow will outweigh her hatred of Drew and she’ll intervene. I certainly hope this leak turns into a big fat spoiler because Carly would blow Willow’s life up and it would be fun to watch.

Lulu Spencer Storyline Pivot and Nathan West Investigation

There are reportedly some tweaks made to Lulu’s storyline. Originally, according to the source, she and Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) were going to be sneaking around having a fling behind everybody’s back. Lulu and Nathan would be outed at some kind of public event and it would cause issues for Lulu and Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms). Then Lulu would be angry and lash out, winding up in trouble like the hotheaded Lulu of the past.

Reportedly, the writers have now done a big pivot. Lulu is still going to have that crush on Nathan and she’s going to go dig into finding out what happened to him in these missing seven years. The new storyline reportedly has Lulu winding up in danger as a result of this investigation and needing to be rescued.

Another storyline note says that some villain is going to need Rocco Falconeri (Finn Frances Carr) and Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) DNA for something. They only have Lulu in common because both have different dads. Also, we heard Britt makes a significant sacrifice and that might tie into Rocco or to Nathan. Stay tuned to see which of these rumors turns into a spoiler.
