New review in U. of Michigan porn case under way
New review under way into delay in reporting suspected child porn at U. of Michigan hospital
A new external investigation is under way into a six-month delay in reporting suspected child pornography to police after it was found on a computer flash drive in a locked University of Michigan hospital lounge.
AnnArbor.com reports Friday that the school has selected the law firm Latham & Watkins to lead the review. They have agreed that the cost of the review will not exceed $395,000.
The University of Michigan Board of Regents ordered an external investigation in February.
An internal investigation into the delay determined a hospital attorney aware of the discovery in May decided after a month there wasn't enough evidence to tell police.
After police were notified in November, charges were brought against a male resident physician.
