Quote:An Emmy-winning former medical correspondent for NBC was arrested for allegedly asking a 9-year-old girl to send him sexually explicit photos, according to new reports.
Dr. Bruce Hensel, 71, was charged Wednesday with asking the daughter of a friend through an online messaging app for the photos in August, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Hensel, who worked as the on-air chief medical correspondent for NBC New York and Los Angeles, faces one felony count of contact with a minor for sexual purposes.
The Los Angeles Police Department launched an investigation into Hensel after they learned he and the girl shared inappropriate messages and photos. Hensel’s home in the Pacific Palisades was searched on Oct. 16 as per a search warrant.
He was booked into the Los Angeles Police Department’s Metropolitan Detention Center and his bail was set at $5,000. His arraignment will be at a later date.
If convicted, he faces up to 18 months in prison.
His lawyer, Steve Sitkoff, said his arrest came as a surprise.
“We are cooperating fully with the authorities and we are looking forward to a speedy and complete exoneration,” Sitkoff told NBC4 in Los Angeles.
Hensel, who is board certified in internal medicine and emergency medicine, joined NBC4 in 1987.
He was the executive producer on the Showtime show “Beyond the Opposite Sex” last year.

Aside from the inherent wrongness of such act it's also completely idiotic. What in the hell did he think would happen??

They think either they will never get caught(kill em) or the desire was so strong that it overrides the logic center of the brain(kill em).
As you can see my position on the matter doesn't really concern itself with why they did it or why they didn't stop themselves, the end result should be the same.
I can only imagine the thought process.
For most people it would be: "That's wrong. I won't do that."
For some people it's: "That's wrong. But I'm going to do it anyway."
For others: "I do what I want regardless."
And others: "There's no such thing as objective morality."
Why do people think it's ok to do certain things? And do they actually think there won't be consequences?
But I will say this -- there have been those who push the philosophy of Moral Relativism. They bear some of the blame as to why our society is as depraved as it is.
Imagine being taught by an authority figure that there is nor right or wrong, that it's all subjective. And we wonder why people do the things they do.
