'Wheel of Fortune' host Jim Thornton has been fired amid controversy related to child sexual abuse. Thornton came under suspicion after he was seen opening a child sexual abuse chat room on an airplane last May. He claimed that he opened the link unknowingly sent by a friend, but photos show records indicating that Thornton stayed in the chat room for about an hour. Thornton currently maintains that he has not committed any illegal acts and has not been charged or arrested. The production company of 'Wheel of Fortune' terminated its contract with Thornton following this incident.
