The director of artificial intelligence medicine at Cedars-Sinai hospital has been charged with distributing and possessing child pornography, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday
Guido Germano, 59, of Santa Monica has been accused of distributing child pornography videos using peer-to-peer software and downloading them onto his personal computer at his home, a news release from the DA's office said, citing Deputy District Attorney Angela Brunson of the cyber crime division.
Peer-to-peer sharing bypasses downloading from a web browser and can help a user avoid detection.
The judge imposed two bond conditions on the defendant: No internet use unless a device equipped with accountability software is used, and no unsupervised time with minor children, Eakins said.
Germano was arrested June 19 and released on $20,000 bond, the DA's office said. He was charged with two felonies -- distribution of obscene matter and possession of child or youth pornography, court documents said. If convicted, he faces a possible maximum sentence of three years and eight months in state prison, according to the news release
Cedars-Sinai, which placed Germano on administrative leave, told CNN that it "will fully cooperate with any law enforcement investigation stemming from this matter."
Germano's field of medical artificial intelligence involves automating analysis of 3D images of the heart, according to the hospital based in the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles.

The penalty is definitely not high enough.

I agree
There are folks who spend more time in jail for Pot then those who abuse kids or watch kids being abused
That's what happens when you stack our judicial system

Plus, every time someone watches child pornography, that child is re-abused. Nobody has the right to view a child just like no one has the right to view a grown woman against her will! Imagine how dirty and humiliated they must feel to grow up knowing millions of perverts view them at their most vulnerable and take pleasure in their suffering. #noeasysentences

We have been looking up to people who not only dont deserve it, but abuse it
You would think people in Goverment, Law, Health, Military are people we should trust
Argggg, that red pill keeps kicking me in the gut everyday

Look up higher than people, friends. Put your trust in the Lord, He never fails. But I know where you are coming from. Public officials are held, supposedly, to a higher standard. Still, I know where my hope comes from!

Maximum sentence of three years and eight months. For distributing and downloading adults raping children. It's one small step from a predator watching and sharing child porn to committing a child rape themselves. I don't know the statistics about this next claim but, to me, it seems like it is more common than not for serial rapists and murderers to have started out with viewing/collecting violent porn.
I get that it isn't ethical by any means to imprisin a person because of what they MIGHT do in the future because of the documented progression of criminals similar to them carrying out the scenarios they get off on in the porn.
I don't know what the solution is for the problem of such minimal sentences being applied to heinous crimes like child porn. It appears to accomplish nothing.

That's what I dont get
They say viewing CP not the same as those that abuse the kids
Tied together in my book
Supply and demand
Your right in how long until viewer tries it himself
Now you have child dolls being made for these warped people, mostly men
With all these groups, in the US alone, that are supposedly fighting to stop this, why is it getting worse
I dont think the penalty is high enough

I agree, the solution is castration which is the only known cure for pedos.

Probably true. I believe one hundred percent of them are mentally ill with a diagnosis criteria that hasn't been discovered yet.

I disagree
We look up to these people,
Also...
The director of artificial intelligence medicine at Cedars-Sinai hospital
This is what Nicole Junkerman's Owkin Company does
Peer-to-peer sharing bypasses downloading from a web browser and can help a user avoid detection.
So how did he get caught?
It explains how they are trying to cover up their crimes
But if Mods disagree, we know what will happen
