Sven Knudsen Ljaamo, 70, is a physician at the VA Medical Center in Bedford, Massachusetts. He was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography, federal prosecutors say.
Prosecutors allege that they received a tip reporting suspected child abuse images had been uploaded to Ljaamo's account. An investigation found several images of child sex abuse on his devices, along with tens of thousands of pornography files, prosecutors said. Ljaamo, according to prosecutors, admitted to viewing, downloading and saving pornographic material involving female minors.
