"A former Cottage Grove [OR] police officer was sentenced Tuesday afternoon to five years in prison for possessing hundreds of images of child *advertiser censored*.
Kim Scott Graham previously pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child *advertiser censored*.
He was sentenced Tuesday afternoon in federal court. Judge Ann Aiken also sentenced him to 10 years of post-prison supervision. His first year out of prison must also be spent in a treatment home....."
and
"...Graham uploaded 1,162 child *advertiser censored* images between March 6, 2004 and March 6, 2009, according to the sentencing memorandum.
Some of the images featured children under age 12. Others featured "sadistic or masochistic conduct and other depictions of violence....."
and
"I have a problem and it's a severe problem." [ETA: Graham said in a prepared statement]
Graham's wife, brother and oldest son, now a law student, sat in the courtroom. Before the sentencing hearing began, Graham turned to smile at them...."
and
"...Court documents also reveal Graham underwent counseling "in an attempt to deal with his child *advertiser censored* addiction" but later resumed viewing and trading photos...."

Can someone explain why the therapist Graham saw would not have been a mandated reporter of this behavior? Maybe I'm missing something. Wouldn't that person be liable for the danger which former Officer Graham was to the children he was policing?
