JOHNSON COUNTY —The FBI Kansas City Division is asking for the public’s assistance regarding an ongoing investigation into Dr. Brian Aalbers, who has been charged with one count of attempted production of child pornography.
Aalbers is a pediatric neurology specialist and is charged in US District Court. Due to the nature of Aalbers’ profession and contact with children, the FBI is seeking the public’s assistance with the investigation.
According to an affidavit, an FBI agent accused Aalbers of using hidden cameras to record thousands of videos.
Court documents say Aalbers "did knowingly employ, use, persuade, induce, entice and coerce a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct."
The affidavit says over 20,000 videos were identified on Aalbers' computer — some dating back to December 2020.
Someone found the cameras and called Kansas City police, according to the affidavit. Aalbers is currently being held in federal custody, according to the FBI.
