The Doctor Blamed His Ex-Wife

A jury in Tampa, FL has convicted Dr. Richard Carino on three counts of receiving child pornography and three counts of possessing child pornography. The Jury listened closely to the testimony of government’s star witness: the doctor’s ex-wife.

Carino, 48, who practiced family medicine in Port Richey, FL, with a specialty in pain management, married a widow with two young children in March 2004. Autumn Carino, 47, worked in her husband’s medical office.

She therefore must have been aware of a DEA investigation of excessive prescriptions for controlled drugs coming out of his office. In fact, the DEA said that one day in March of 2004, her husband wrote 82 prescriptions for phentermine and other easily abused drugs.
Some days he wrote hundreds of prescriptions, the DEA charged.

Eventually, his registration to dispense controlled substances was indefinitely suspended by the state and revoked by the federal government.

But his problems were about to get worse, and therefore so were his wife's.
