ANOTHER slew of cellphone sex photos has resulted in the resignation of Cable News Channel 3 (CNC3) Senior Reporter and Assignments Editor Sampson Nanton.
TnT Mirror understands that he handed in the letter late Tuesday evening, and that it was accepted by Trinidad Publishing Company (TPC) Managing Director Grenfell Kissoon.
When contacted, Kissoon said he was sad to see Nanton go.
“He was a very valuable talent,” he said.
“I consider him to be one of the better journalists that’s passed through the station.
“I have very high regard for his professionalism and his journalistic talent … I wish him all the best.”
Nanton’s resignation came mere hours after two other sets of cellphone pix, apparently belonging to him, began circulating around the Internet.
The second set of photos feature two shots of the same girl from the first set, as well as other women.
Some of the photos feature Nanton in lasciviously kinky poses, while the others feature scantily-clad women in bed.
Some other pictures from the first two sets appear to have been taken in the same room.
Some of the others are unclear as to the location and date of the shoot.
However, word from CNC3 insiders is that Nanton has become frustrated by the scandalous publicity, and is even more disappointed that Web users are adding their own lewd pictures to his “genuine” collection.
“Everyone is jumping on this bandwagon now, but some of those pictures I know nothing about … they don’t even have me in them,” Nanton was heard confiding in a colleague.
Only last week (Friday, September 22), Mirror published the first set of Nanton’s sex photos, which had become one of the major talking points in the country.
That story first shed light on the 29-year-old Nanton’s fetish for X-rated photos, and the embarrassment faced his staunch Seventh-Day Adventist family.
Following the publication, it was reported that the TPC Board met in an emergency session and arrived at a decision that Nanton should be allowed some time to cool off.
Mirror then learnt that Nanton himself went on two weeks’ vacation voluntarily, much to the dismay of his superiors.
In fact, his resignation has prompted some of his former managers to declare that he “did nothing wrong”, and should not have taken such a drastic decision.
