Phoenix pediatrician charged in child porn case

by Associated Press (September 2nd, 2010 @ 4:29pm)

SUN CITY, Ariz. - A Phoenix-area pediatrician has been arrested on charges of distributing child pornography.

Prosecutors said Thursday that 40-year-old Emilio Luna of Sun City was arrested Wednesday after authorities learned that thousands of files of suspected child pornography were shared from his computer in a public file-sharing system.

Luna's pediatric practice is in Phoenix.

He faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. It's unclear whether Luna yet has a lawyer, and his phone number in Sun City is disconnected.

U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke says protecting children from sexual exploitation is one of his office's highest priorities and that they want to ``uncloak the anonymity of child predators on the Internet.''

    I just finished a Zip Code Search for "Registered Sex Offenders" centered on the 85041 zip, (a south phx zip) Here are the numbers from that search,also includes neighboring zips for the 85041,85004,85003,85007,85040. the search shows a total of 104 registered sex offenders, of that 104, Fifty has Hispanic surenames! that means that almost half of the sex offenders are Hispanic! compare that to the fact that there is a larger non-Hispanic population in these zips, that is a huge! percentage! The Numbers Dont Lie! But it would seem that Abadaba does!

    I agree with your sentence, but where in the article did it say his country of origin? What culture would that be? I'm assuming he is an American.. Dont judge based on a name.
