About this Article

In November, authorities say, Dr. Hugo Alvarez took an external hard drive in for service at a computer store in Westmont. Two days later, police arrived at his door with a search warrant. Now Alvarez — who has practiced internal medicine at Chicago-area hospitals for years — is facing an aggravated child pornography charge that could land him in prison and end his career.
