Pediatrician Indicted for Distributing Child Pornography

PHOENIX - A federal grand jury in Phoenix has returned a five-count indictment against Dr. Emilio Luna, 40, of Sun City, Arizon for Distributing Child Pornography in interstate commerce. Dr. Luna, a Phoenix pediatrician, came to the attention of law enforcement when thousands of files of suspected child pornography were shared from his computer in a public peer-to-peer file sharing system. He was arrested last Wednesday, September 1st by federal agents. Following a detention hearing last week, he was released by order of the court, and is forbidden to have access to the Internet or children while under supervision of U.S. Pre-trial Services. A conviction for Distributing Child Pornography carries a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both for each count of conviction. The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
