A Washington D.C. psychotherapist who worked with children and teenagers has been arrested on federal charges of possessing and distributing child pornography. Victor Renato Blythe, 60, was charged this week by federal complaint with allegedly sharing illegal material with another person, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
Blythe is a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with children and adolescents. He previously worked in the psychiatry department at Children’s National Hospital for seven years, though he has not been employed there for the past seven years, hospital officials confirmed. The case highlights concerns about trusted professionals who work closely with vulnerable young people.
