Broward doctor arrested on nearly a dozen child pornography charges – NBC 6 South Florida

A Broward doctor was arrested Thursday on nearly a dozen child pornography charges.

David Rerko, 61, was charged with ten counts of depicting sexual conduct of children and one count of collecting child pornography on a computer.

Rerko worked at Broward Health Medical Center.

“We were dismayed to learn that an anesthesiologist provided to us by a third-party company was arrested,” the hospital said in a statement. “Upon learning the nature of the charges, we immediately notified his employer that the doctor's privileges have been revoked and he is not permitted to enter any of our properties. While the investigation continues, we are fully cooperating with the Broward Sheriff's Office and thank our law enforcement partners for their tireless commitment to protecting our community.”

Rerko will be granted bail provided he wears a GPS device, has no contact with minors, does not use devices with internet access and surrenders his passport.
