Child psychologist Jonathan
Gersh, 37, allegedly molested a nine-year-old girl. He was charged
with felony child molestation and child pornography.
A
child psychologist in Atlanta has been accused of molesting a
nine-year-old client after he posted a disturbing picture of the
incident to the internet.
Police in
Cobb County say Jonathan Gersh, 37, was taken into custody on
Valentine's Day after they received a report the week prior
from Homeland Security about the matter involving a young girl.
The
licensed psychologist was employed with Intown Psychological Associates
in Atlanta at the time, according to his Psychology Today profile,
where the alleged incident happened.
His arrest warrant said the alleged child sex crimes took place between January and October 2017.
The child's mother confirmed the victim was her daughter during initial investigation by federal officials.
Police suspect there may be other victims, according to a recent press release.

'Due
to the nature of the charges and the suspect's work as an adolescent
psychologist, investigators believe there is the possibility there are
more victims yet to come forward,' police in Cobb said.
Parents and guardians are asked to alert police if they believe their child may have been victim.
Gersh has been charged with felony child molestation and child pornography.
According to the psychologist's profile, he specializes in ADHD, depression and thinking disorders.

Gersh said on his profile he completed his doctorate degree in San Francisco Bay, California.

consisting of varying family compositions and individuals from all walks
of life and backgrounds,' Gersh wrote.
