Discipline Summaries

December 19, 2012

FREDERICK JOHN STOCKER [#106382], 56, of San Diego was disbarred Dec. 19, 2012, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Stocker was convicted of misdemeanor child pornography after his law firm discovered he had downloaded a large number of pornographic images to his work computer. He was fired and charged with 55 counts of possessing child pornography. Stocker pleaded guilty to one count of downloading images to his computer; he did not purchase, post or exchange any images or have contact with children in person, online or in chat rooms. He was placed on probation and registered as a sex offender. After finding Stocker complied with his probation conditions, the court reduced his probation from formal to summary and the conviction was expunged in 2011.

In mitigation, Stocker took steps that recognized his wrongdoing, including completing a program for sexually compulsive behavior and enrolling in the Lawyer Assistance Program, he submitted evidence of his good character, provided pro bono services, cooperated with the bar’s investigation and had no prior discipline record.
