A BERNALILLO COUNTY JURY HAS FOUND PEDIATRICIAN JUAN SANTOS TORRES GUILTY OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN. AS A RESULT, HE’LL SERVE 14 MONTHS IN PRISON.
THE NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE SAYS SANTOS TORRES ACTUALLY HAD NUMEROUS VIDEOS OF CHILDREN BEING SEXUALLY ABUSED. BUT, DUE TO STATE LAW, HE COULD ONLY BE CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT.
A-G HECTOR BALDERAS SAYS THE LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED, SO EACH DEPICTION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CAN BE CHARGED AS A SEPARATE CRIME.
