TROY — Catherine Peoples, 34, of Troy is a mother of four with a fifth child on the way who has taken her children to pediatrician Robert Reinhold for seven years.
She said that in light of the doctor’s arrest Wednesday on charges of possessing child pornography, she’ll be taking her children to another pediatrician.
Peoples said she learned of the arrest while reading news stories on the Web.
"He gave good care to children," she said. "I’ve always been in the room with my kids" when they visited, she noted. "The thought is really upsetting. It’s really a shock. I would not have suspected this."
It was quiet Wednesday evening at Reinhold’s closed medical offices, Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, on South Stanfield Road. Hours earlier, special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raided those offices, as well as Reinhold’s residence, agency spokesman Greg Palmore said.
Reinhold was taken into custody after agents said they found concealed in a desk, "19 manila folders containing more than 1,700 images on 8-by-11-inch paper, depicting minors in various stages of undress. Many of the images depicted minors engaging in lascivious displays or engaging in acts of sexual activity," Palmore said.
