His crime involved years of collecting, altering, and viewing thousands of illegal images — including manipulating content from nudist sites to focus on young girls. Facing a $20,000 fine and 15 years of supervised release, Sponsler, who once ran the Alaska Brain Center and held medical privileges, surrendered his license last December. The judge’s sentence matched prosecutors’ recommendation, falling below the maximum 20-year penalty, but still reflecting the gravity of his actions.
