JetBlue Pilot Arrested on Child Exploitation Charges

Jeremy Gudorf, a 33-year-old JetBlue pilot from Ohio, was arrested at Boston's Logan International Airport on February 20, 2025, due to a warrant for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor from Huntersville, North Carolina. The arrest occurred just before Gudorf was scheduled to pilot a flight to Paris, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection identified the warrant during a standard review of the flight manifest. The investigation began in October 2024 following a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, leading to a search warrant issued to Google. Gudorf has been placed on indefinite leave by JetBlue and was released on $10,000 bail with a requirement to report to North Carolina by February 25. The details of the alleged crime remain undisclosed due to the investigation's sensitive nature.
