The former chief on-air medical correspondent for NBC was sentenced to two years probation Monday on charges that he asked a nine-year-old for 'sexually suggestive' photos.
Dr. Bruce Hensel, 71, was arrested in 2019 after accusations surfaced that he texted the daughter of a friend and asked her for nude pictures.
On Monday, the doctor pleaded no contest to the charges which included solicitation of nude photos from a minor.
Transcripts of the text messages included in the filing submitted to the state Medical Board in 2022 found that Hensel asked for pictures that were 'sexy and private.'
'Dr. Bruce, you crossed the line and violated the vow of your profession, which is to cause no harm,' the father of the victim said in court on Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
