Top Hollywood editor for News of the World arrested in hacking probe

[Hepburn]

The News Corp. hacking scandals may have just come to U.S. shores.

James Desborough, the former Los Angeles editor for News of the World who'd previously won awards for his show business coverage in London, has been arrested by authorities investigating allegations of criminal hacking and rampant corruption.

Desborough is thought to face charges stemming from activities inside the U.K., according to The Guardian, but his appearance as the 13th News Corp. employee to be arrested raises the possibility that hacking may have taken place in the U.S. as well.

He was appointed in 2009 to be the U.S. editor for News of the World in Los Angeles after winning a British Press Award for his show business coverage. Desborough was roundly lauded in London and in Hollywood for his ability to scoop celebrities' secrets, and wrote for the paper right up until it closed last month.
