Doctor indicted in child sex case
A 32-year-old former Las Vegas pediatrician was indicted by a grand jury on 51 counts Wednesday for charges of child molestation and child porn possession.
Dr. David Glenn Evans is scheduled for arrangement on April 20 before District Judge Nancy Saitta.
If found guilty as charged, he could be sentenced to life in prison. Evans was arrested in December by Metro after officers received information that child pornography had been found on Evans' home computer. Police would go on to recover roughly 40 child pornography images depicting young men.
After Evans was taken into custody he told Metro Police that one of his victims was a local boy he had met through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nevada, according to his arrest report
Evans was a resident at the University of Nevada School of Medicine since the summer, worked at University Medical Center and Sunrise Hospital, but police have not reported uncovering any evidence linking him to any children he met through his job.
Evans is also charged with 32 felonies in connection to alleged interaction with a child under the age of 14 in California , according to Amador County authorities.
He will not face the charges in California until after his case in Las Vegas has concluded.
