Chicago pediatrician arrested with child porn
CHICAGO — A Chicago pediatrician who once worked in Kansas was arrested after thousands of images of child pornography were found on his computers, federal prosecutors said yesterday.
H. Marc Watzman, 37, also had a hidden panel in his car that contained drugs such as morphine, compounds used to induce unconsciousness and a substance used to induce temporary muscular paralysis.
Watzman was taken into custody Saturday after agents searched his Chicago apartment.
He was charged with possession of child pornography. He has not been accused of trying to use the drugs on anyone.
A bail hearing was scheduled for yesterday afternoon.
Agents said they found a desktop computer in Watzman's apartment with about 40 images of child pornography and more than 200,000 erased images. They also seized a laptop containing 3,000 to 5,000 images of sexually explicit pictures of children, authorities said.
Watzman worked at Edward Hospital in Naperville. A resume discovered by investigators indicated that Watzman also has worked at hospitals in Peoria, III.; Rockford, III.; Wichita, Philadelphia and Maryland, authorities said.

Question of the day
Who's my adviser?
KU Info exists to answer all your questions about KU and life as a student. Check out KU Info's Web site at kuinfo.lib.ku.edu, call it at 864-3508 or visit it in person at Anschutz Library.
All freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must be advised by someone at the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center. If this is your first year in a freshman-entry program (such as engineering or fine arts), you will be assigned an adviser in your department. Advisers for sophomores, junior and seniors are assigned through departments, which means that your department office (psychology, urban planning, scuba studies) is the best place to call. If you are an honors student, try calling the honors program.
