FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A federal judge called a South Florida pediatrician a “danger” to the community and ordered that he must remain in jail until his trial on possession of child pornography.
Michael Mizrachy, 49, was charged in federal court on Friday and could face up to 20 years in prison. He was originally arrested Jan.
12 on identical state charges and had been free on a $30,000 bond. Prosecutors allege that Mizrachy used an email account to keep a video showing a naked 5 or 6-year-old girl getting abused by a man.
Investigators using search warrants also found photographs of young children and teens in their underwear, taken without their knowledge, on the doctor's iPhone and computer.
