Former 'Jeopardy!' Champion Philip Joseph DeSena Charged with Felony Secret Peeping
Philip Joseph 'Joey' DeSena, a former two-day champion on the popular game show 'Jeopardy!', has been arrested on charges of felony secret peeping. According to a report by WNCN-TV in Raleigh, DeSena, aged 42, was charged in Currituck County with two counts of felony secret peeping. The charges stem from allegations that he installed cameras in a victim's bedroom and bathroom on October 10, as detailed in a warrant filed by the Currituck County Sheriff's Office. DeSena, who won $46,698 during his time on 'Jeopardy!', was defeated in his third game but later returned for the Champions Wildcard tournament. He reached the semi-finals but was ultimately defeated. DeSena also ran a YouTube channel called ClanOfTheGrayWolf under the pseudonym 'Roo', where he discussed retro gaming topics from 2009 to 2015. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
