Denver Doctor Arrested On Child Pornography Charges
DENVER (CBS4) - A doctor in Denver faces charges of transportation of child pornography. Federal agents now have custody of Justin Bowen Neisler, 31. The FBI arrested the suspect on March 13 after they search his home in Denver.
Agents received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children saying someone using an IP address tied to Neisler's home uploaded sexually explicit content of children. That content was uploaded onto a social media platform.
Neisler has carried a licensed to practice medicine in Colorado and Georgia since 2016. Officials say he is affiliated with Centura Health and HCA-HealthONE networks, specifically St. Anthony North Health Campus in Westminster and Rose Family Medicine Residency Clinic.
Neisler could face at least five years of prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. He also could face a minimum of five years of supervised release.
Centura issued a statement which reads in part:
We are deeply disturbed and saddened that one of our former physicians in our Family Residency Program at St. Anthony North Family Medicine 84th Clinic, Dr. Justin Neisler, has been charged with crimes related to transportation of child pornography. Upon learning of his arrest by the FBI, his employment was terminated. We are troubled by these allegations which are in stark contrast to our mission and core values. There is simply no place for any behavior that exploits children in our community, or for any individual that circumvents the systems and processes we have in place to ensure their safety.
Anyone with more information about the investigation is encouraged to contact the FBI by sending an email to DENVERMD@FBI.GOV.
