US Hospital Worker Collapses in Court After Hearing He Could Face 100 Years Over Child Exploitation Charges

A 42-year-old hospital worker in Arizona reportedly collapsed during a court hearing after prosecutors said he could face up to 100 years in prison if convicted of 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. Investigators said they traced suspected illegal material to an account, phone number and IP address linked to the accused after receiving a tip from a child-protection organisation. He was arrested following the investigation. The court set bail at $150,000. If released, he must avoid contact with minors, cannot use a smartphone or access the internet, and must wear an electronic monitor. The case is due back in court on September 21.
