Perverted two-time Jeopardy champion Joey DeSena has been busted in North Carolina for having child pornography — while he was already on probation for peeping, according to court documents.
DeSena, 44, was arrested Friday in Wake County and charged with 10 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor after he was found with sexually explicit pictures and videos featuring children, according to an arrest warrant obtained by WBTV.
The perv was on probation after pleading guilty to a pair of felony peeping charges in July.
A judge denied his bond on Monday and he remains locked up at the Wake County Jail, records show.
DeSena’s latest arrest comes less than a year after he was busted in Dec. 2025 for peeping for allegedly recording a female in a bedroom and bathroom.
He pleaded guilty to the peeping charges on July 27 and was sentenced to 60 months’ probation. He was additionally ordered to complete 100 hours of community service and to undergo a mental health evaluation, according to WBTV.
DeSena, a development engineer from Raleigh, made waves on the long-running ABC quiz show in November 2024 when he won two nights in a row, bagging a total of $44,698.
He called his appearance a “literal dream come true” and praised the “Jeopardy!” crew and his fellow contestants.
The two-time champ later returned to the Ken Jennings-hosted show to compete in the Champions Wildcard tournament in Jan. 2025, where he made it to the semi-finals before he was knocked out.
