A Washington state man who worked as a pediatric nurse in Portland is facing child pornography charges.
Federal agents have linked 43-year-old Bryan Corbitt of Washougal to an online screen name that shared files of child pornography by using peer-to-peer software.
The nurse worked at the Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital but resigned on February 10th.
He sent four photos from a patient’s family to his private email account. The hospital says they were not sexual in nature, but since the transfer was not authorized, it was a violation of policy.
The families of about 10,000 patients have been notified about the arrests.
