Marin psychologist sentenced in child porn case

The U.S. Attorney's office says a Marin psychologist is serving eight years in prison for possessing child pornography.

U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag in San Francisco said Donald Tosti was sentenced last Thursday and ordered to pay $50,000 in restitution.

Tosti was convicted last September on two charges of possessing child pornography. During the trial, evidence showed Tosti was found with child pornography after taking his computer to CompUSA for repair. A search of Tosti's home and office revealed a large collection of child pornography, including depictions of the rape of very young children.

The 76-year-old Tosti of San Rafael was founder of the Independent Learning Schools and was ordered to pay the $50,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
