SANTA ANA, Calif. (KTLA) — A foot doctor from Santa Ana has been arrested for possessing over 1,000 images of child pornography.
58-year-old Dr. Pete Thomas was arrested on Tuesday and booked into Santa Ana jail. He has been released on $50,000 bail.
Police received a tip from a technician that there was child porn on Thomas’ office computer, according to Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, of the Santa Ana Police Department.
Detectives obtained a warrant and seized the computer, Bertagna said.
They went to an FBI lab to check out the images and found “approximately 1,100 pictures of child pornography and/or child erotica,” he said.
The children ranged in age from 7 to early teens. Police said there’s no indication that Thomas was in contact with any of the children.

We should always be on the look out for those sex offenders this will make sure that we monitor the safety of our children in our environment. That's why my family has been using a phone application that also provides security, being too careful for the welfare of my family isn't a bad thing after all. Like this articles main topic. This service also provides quality protection. It alarms us when our children trigger the panic button if they feel they are in danger. So anyone of us can immediately respond to them. It can also connect the call to the 911. Reliable and convenient. And one other feature I love about this product is it actually tracks registered sex offenders. Our kids will be able to avoid danger zones where sex offenders are usually spotted. I highly recommend this to all parents to protect their children from any form of harm. Try to goggle safekidzone this may help protect yur child.
