The Pasadena Citizen
By Stacey Glaesmann
GALVESTON — Dr. Dennis Hughes, a Pediatric Oncologist employed by MD Anderson Cancer Center accused of Federal Possession of Child Pornography, arrived for his Preliminary Exam and Detention hearing at the Federal Courthouse here Wednesday (June 10) afternoon.
The FBI confiscated large numbers of pornographic files containing images of children from Hughes’s Pearland home on Friday (June 5) and Hughes confessed to the crime. …
The defense called Dr. Hughes’s wife to the stand and asked questions that painted a picture of a loving husband and father who volunteered at his children’s’ school, attended Catholic church and served as an Assistant Coach for several years for Pearland Little League.
Dr. Hughes wept as he listened to his wife tearfully answer questions.
Mrs. Hughes and SA Berry both testified that there was no known evidence of any inappropriate contact between Hughes and either his own children or any children from the larger community, including his patients.
