Dr. Bruce Hensel, a multiple local Emmy winner and former
longtime medical correspondent for KNBC-TV newscasts in Los
Angeles, is facing a felony child sexual-exploitation charge for
asking a 9-year-old girl to send him sexually suggestive
pictures, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said.

The former part-time actor who’s now an independent writer and
producer is charged with requesting the images from the daughter
of an acquaintance through a messaging app on or about August 4,
prosecutors said.

The Los Angeles Police Department said Hensel, 71, was arrested
Wednesday morning in Beverly Hills and charged with contact with
a minor for sexual purposes. He was released from the LAPD’s
Metropolitan Detention Center around 5 p.m. after posting $5,000
bail. No court date was announced.

If convicted as charged, Hensel faces a possible maximum
sentence of 18 months in state prison, the D.A.’s Office said.

Members of the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force served a search warrant at Hensel’s Pacific
Palisades home on October 16. Because the contact with the minor
was made by way of the internet, detectives from the Internet
Crimes Against Children unit are leading the investigation.

A practicing physician who is board certified in internal
medicine and emergency medicine, Hensel joined the KNBC news
team in 1987 and worked there for several years. It’s unclear
when he left the station, but he won a Los Angeles Area Emmy
Award with the station in 2014. He also is an author and has
been a radio talk show host and magazine contributing editor.
According to IMDb, he has produced a handful of TV documentaries
and appeared it bit roles in Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987)
and the 1980s TV series Capitol.

He has received numerous L.A. Area Emmy Awards, including for
the programs local area Emmys for the series Health Fax (1988)
and the specials 4 Your Health, Bioterrorism: Lines of Defense
(2001) and Autism: The Hidden Epidemic (2005).
