A former Wrangell doctor has been found guilty of distributing and receiving child pornography.
KTOO-FM reports (http://bit.ly/1glnEnj) that after an hour and a half of deliberations a U.S. District Court jury found Greg Salard guilty on the two charges Tuesday. A third, lesser charge for possession was set aside since it was dependent on a not guilty verdict for the other charges.
Prosecutors say Salard found, downloaded and shared videos that included footage of adult men molesting toddlers. The illegal material was uploaded to the internet through a file-sharing program from a computer registered to Salard.
Salard faces an aggravated rape charge in Louisiana, where he will be extradited to after his sentencing in Juneau on Oct. 9. He faces a sentence of 5 to 20 years in prison.
