Court Expert Removed From Case Over Facebook Pics

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some parents are seeking to remove a Beverly Hills psychiatrist from their child custody cases after discovering lewd pictures of him on Facebook and other websites.

The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that Dr. Joseph Kenan was thrown off one recent case and challenged in at least two others.

The newspaper also said at least four complaints by parents who hired Kenan have been lodged with the Medical Board of California.

Kenan, who advises family courts in custody disputes, has said the "bawdy humor" on the Facebook page was for friends and not intended for public viewing. He has deactivated it.

The Times said Kenan declined to be interviewed for the story.
