Robert "Bobby" Edwards, the founder of the popular toilet accessory company Squatty Potty, faces serious allegations as he has been charged by federal authorities for receiving child pornography. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Utah, Edwards was arrested in Washington County, Utah, and indicted by a federal grand jury on February 10. It is reported that Edwards was allegedly involved in the purchase and receipt of numerous images depicting child sexual abuse material over a span of several years, from March 2021 to November 2025.

The case against Edwards arises from an undercover operation conducted by the FBI, where an agent entered an online meeting room where participants were reportedly viewing videos of child sexual abuse. It was during this operation that Edwards was identified as one of the users present. Following his arrest, he pleaded not guilty to the charges during his initial appearance in court and was subsequently ordered to be held without bail by Judge Paul Kohler in St. George. This case has garnered significant media attention, which is likely to impact both Edwards and his company, Squatty Potty.

The implications of this case are profound, not only for Edwards personally but also for the brand reputation of Squatty Potty, which has built its image around a humorous and family-friendly product. As the legal proceedings unfold, there may be increased scrutiny on the company and its leadership, and further developments could lead to discussions about corporate governance in relation to the conduct of its founders. The seriousness of the charges against Edwards raises questions about accountability and trust in entrepreneurship, particularly concerning public figures associated with family-oriented businesses.
