 LAPD's Northeast Division began "a child sexual exploitation investigation involving a nine-year-old child where inappropriate messages and photographs were shared between a child and a person believed to be Bruce Hensel," the Los Angeles Police Department said.

 Authorities served a search warrant at Hensel's Pacific Palisades home in the 17500 block of Tramonto Drive on Oct. 16, according to LAPD.

 Hensel was taken into custody at about 10:15 Wednesday morning in the 9600 block of Santa Monica Boulevard.

 The 71-year-old was booked for contact with a minor with the purpose of committing sexual acts and was held at the LAPD's Metropolitan Detention Center on a $5,000 bail. He posted bail Wednesday evening.

 The District Attorney's Office said Hensel is charged with requesting the images from the daughter of an acquaintance through a messaging app on or about Aug. 4.

 If convicted, Hensel faces a possible maximum sentence of 18 months in state prison, the DA's Office said.

 Hensel was the on-air former Chief Health, Medical and Science Editor/Correspondent for NBC4 Los Angeles, and is the Co-Executive Producer and Co-Director of the documentary film "Beyond The Opposite Sex," which focuses on transgender relationships, according to an online biography.
