A former Los Angeles television news producer for KNBC was indicted on federal charges alleging he distributed more than 100 videos and images of child pornography in an online chat room.
The indictment was filed Thursday in the Central District of California against Phil Drechsler, 60, who worked as an investigative producer for Comcast-owned KNBC (Channel 4) in Los Angeles until he was laid off earlier this year.
Drechsler was arrested last month after police raided his Southern California home in connection with a broad child pornography investigation.
At the time, the former KNBC producer was suspected of sending and receiving images showing child sex abuse through an online app between August 2020 and June 2021.
Drechsler worked for KNBC during the period of time when federal investigators allege he received more than 100 videos and images of child sex abuse, though it does not appear his employer was aware of the purported activities.Â
