US Authorities Arrest Jaydeep Patel, Former Hospital Worker, on Child Pornography Charges

In the United States, Jaydeep Patel, a 31-year-old of Indian origin, has been arrested for alleged involvement in child pornography. Patel previously worked as a behavioral health technician at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Police found more than 1200 images and videos related to child pornography on his electronic devices. The arrest was a result of information provided by social media users. Patel has been charged with nine counts of sexually exploiting a minor. The investigation uncovered explicit chat logs where Patel solicited child sexual abuse materials. Phoenix Children’s Hospital confirmed that Patel passed background checks before his employment, and he is no longer employed at the hospital. A judge has set a $100,000 cash-only bond.
