    University Releases Review on Man's Child Porn Charges

    The University of Michigan released an internal report Friday on child pornography possession charges against Stephen Jenson, 36, a medical resident specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor. The report took six months and the college has been faulted for its delay, says Michigan Radio. Here are details about this case.

    * According to WXYZ, a fellow resident discovered pornographic images of children on a USB drive connected to a university computer in May. The student reported the incident but said the university's lead attorney who initially handled the investigation made the resident feel like coming forward was the wrong thing to do, says Michigan Radio.

    * Jenson of Pittsfield Township was arrested in December on four counts of child pornography possession on his home computer and on UMHS computers, AnnArbor.com reports. The investigation didn't begin until November. Jenson was released the next day; his employment was not terminated but his clinical privileges were revoked. Investigators found none of the images was of children he had worked with. Jenson was made to wear a GPS monitoring device, remain in the state and stay away from children and the Internet. His preliminary hearing was set for Dec. 28.

    * University President Mary Sue Coleman says the school accepts responsibility for the delay in reporting the charges to police. She adds the investigation was left with a lead attorney for the hospital. That attorney failed to act appropriately, should not have been allowed to run the investigation and should have handed the matter over to the police.

    * The lawyer has been removed from her post but not in connection with the child pornography findings. Coleman adds the investigation was not one person's fault. The university's report found breaks along the chain of communication.

    * Douglas Smith, a retired employee of the University of Michigan Health System says he doesn't think the investigation would have come to light had the child sex abuse charges against Penn State involving former coach Jerry Sandusky not been made public. Smith is pushing for further investigation and fuller disclosure from the university, WXYZ says.
