The 48 year old paediatrician, who was arrested in Benalmádena on charges of possessing child pornography, has been ordered to prison without bail.
The man, named with the initials R.D.P.M., who works in the Municipal Health Centre in Arroyo de la Miel, is alleged to have had paedophile photos and videos on his home computer, and was ordered to prison by the judge in Instruction Court 1 in Málaga.
Apparently the images were in a file labelled for the learning how to play the guitar.
He was arrested as part of a nationwide swoop which was started by the Guardia Civil in Ciudad Real, and now faces charges of the corruption of minors under article 189 of the penal code which punishes those who possess pornographic images of children aged under 13. A 57 year old man from Salamanca and a 33 year old man from Almeria have also been arrested as part of the same investigation, codenamed ‘Tambor’.
Police in Málaga have arrested as many as nine paedophiles over the past two weeks, with arrests taking place in the city centre, Cártama, Torremolinos and Benalmádena.
All those arrested have now appeared before the instruction judge and been released with charges pending and among the accused is a primary school teacher and a gardener.
