A child and adolescent psychiatrist suspended from Billings Clinic who reported to investigators that he had a collection of child pornography is facing federal charges.
An information filed Monday in U.S. District Court charges Dr. James H. Peak with one count of possessing child porn. The crime carries a penalty of maximum of 10 years in prison, a maximum $250,000 fine and from five years to a lifetime of supervised release.

After talking with authorities, Peak voluntarily surrendered his medical license, notified his employer and entered and successfully completed a 90-day inpatient treatment program in Texas, Hurd said.

    • Perfect job for a child pornographer. Child psychiatry is pseudo-science at best and criminal at worst. Perfect cover for a pervert because the scrutiny in that particular profession is not up to snuff.

    • Three or four years ago, Billings Clinic hired a GYN from the upper Midwest. Turns out there were warrants out for him... yep, sex crimes. They did send out letters of apology to those of us who had been encouraged (by Billings clinic centralized appointments desk) to use this new doctor.

      When I got notice the next year reminding me it was time for that annual pap smear........ Oh, let's just say the air went blue, Frankly, any visit to any Billings Clinic employee caregiver leaves one with the impression they all get bonuses for referring you to another Billings Clinic employee caregiver.

      McMedicine and not the greatest background checks. I have great insurance. But I can't get real medical care. They are too busy running people through and trying to find ways to send you to other doctors to actually 'see' you.
