Dr. Bruce Hensel, a multiple local Emmy winner and former longtime medical correspondent for Knbc-tv newscasts in Los Angeles, is facing a felony child sexual-exploitation charge for asking a 9-year-old girl to send him sexually suggestive pictures, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said.
The former part-time actor who’s now an independent writer and producer is charged with requesting the images from the daughter of an acquaintance through a messaging app on or about August 4, prosecutors said.
The Los Angeles Police Department said Hensel, 71, was arrested Wednesday morning in Beverly Hills and charged with contact with a minor for sexual purposes. He was released from the Lapd’s Metropolitan Detention Center around 5 p.m. after posting $5,000 bail. No court date was announced.
If convicted as charged, Hensel faces a possible maximum sentence of 18 months in state prison, the D.A.’s Office said.
