Woodstock police issued the arrest warrant Thursday afternoon for 58-year-old Dr. Robert Stern, but have not released any further details on where they believe he may be.

Stern is wanted on charges for distributing, possessing and accessing child pornography.

“I couldn't believe that someone I trusted was up on charges like that,” says Alisha Long, a former patient of Dr. Stern’s.

Long was a patient of Dr. Stern from the time she was six years old, and he remained her doctor for 26 years.
