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
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.
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. The next scheduled court date is a preliminary hearing on August 29, he said.
