Discipline Summaries

September 24, 2011

STEPHEN DOUGLAS SMITH [#60028], 63, of Burke, Va., was disbarred Sept. 24, 2011, and was ordered to make restitution and to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court.

Smith pleaded guilty in 2010 to two counts of felony possession of child pornography. He was arrested in 2009 after his former internet service provider told police Smith had uploaded a child pornography video in 2007. With his consent, the officers examined his computer and found that numerous images of child pornography had been deleted. They were later retrieved and included images of children, from 8 to 12 years old, engaging in sexual acts.

Smith cooperated with the bar’s investigation and had no prior discipline record.
