A Menlo Park doctor was sentenced Wednesday in federal court to two years in prison for possessing child pornography.
Joseph Andrew Mollick, 60, had pleaded guilty in January to one count of possession of child porn, according a news release on Wednesday from U.S. Attorney Ismail J. Ramsey and Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Tatum King.
An oncologist hematologist affiliated with several Bay Area hospitals, Mollick admitted he used the social media app Kik in August 2019 to upload child porn involving a girl having sex with a man.
Prosecutors allege he also possessed at least 2,000 images and videos of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct on his personal laptop.
He was sentenced to two years in prison by U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria. The judge also ordered 60 months’ supervised release after his prison term, and fined him $25,000.
Mollick was indicted by a federal grand jury in November 2021, charging him with one count possession of child pornography.

California is criminally negligent in their leniency regarding child sex crimes. But that is par for the course for how these lunatic liberals have politicized both law enforcement and the court systems. Law has become subjective here in California. The overwhelming majority of these pedophiles are only caught for a minuscule fraction of what they have truly done. This behavior is a lifelong compulsion for this guy - he didnt wake up yesterday and decide to download 2000 images. He will not change one iota in 2 years - if he even does the full 2 - he will just get better at concealing his crimes learning from the other inmates he meets. Gavin Newsome has done more harm to this state than anybody in its history. Its also very strange this this pedophile's picture is not posted on any of the articles going around online about this. California courts love to protect the privacy of these pedophiles.
