Orinda Child Psychologist Facing Decades In Prison On New Child Porn, Contempt Charges
A federal grand jury indicted an Orinda man on new child pornography and contempt of court charges, the result of an investigation that determined he continued to download lewd images of kids while awaiting trial for the same conduct, court records show. Kenneth Breslin, 69, was already facing a single count of possessing child porn, and had even reached a tentative plea deal with federal prosecutors, when it was revealed he had continued to view and download child porn while out on bail. Breslin had been ordered to stay off the internet as a term of his release, but instead used a third-party server to hide his web browsing, according to a federal investigator. (Gartrell, 1/18)
