Squatty Potty founder Robert Edwards is accused of receiving child sexual abuse images beginning in March 2021.
Robert "Bobby" Edwards, co-founder of the Squatty Potty, has been arrested and accused of receiving child sexual abuse images, the U.S. Attorney's Office for Utah announced.
Beginning in 2021, Edwards allegedly participated in an online meeting room where child sexual abuse images were traded, according to a news release.
Edwards, 50, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Feb. 10 and arrested two days later in Washington County, Utah. He is charged with receipt of child pornography and pleaded not guilty during an initial court appearance. A detention hearing is scheduled for March 2.
In 2014, Edwards and his mother Judy Edwards appeared on "Shark Tank" for their Squatty Potty product, which is intended to help ease constipation while pooping. They struck a deal with Lori Greiner, and the product went on to become one of show's most successful ever.
The Edwards family sold Squatty Potty to the consumer good company Aterian in May 2021. In a statement on Squatty Potty's website, Aterian said it has no relationship with Bobby Edwards.
