Del. police: Pediatrician sexually abused patients
Quote:
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – A Delaware pediatrician is accused of molesting at least 16 patients, including some who appear to be no more than 6 months old, and police said the doctor used video cameras to record some of the brutal attacks in exam rooms.
Dr. Earl B. Bradley, 56, was being held on $2.9 million bond Tuesday, said Sgt. Walter Newton, a Delaware State Police spokesman. Police believe there could be more victims.
Bradley, of Lewes, faces 29 charges, including rape. He was charged last week with sexually abusing nine girls.
"Forensic evaluation of seized video files and software has to date discovered 15 more unidentified victims," according to a detective's sworn statement obtained by The News Journal of Wilmington.
While court officials released some records to The Associated Press, the detective's affidavit was not one of them.
An explicit 18-page document released to AP did, however, detail the alleged attacks in exam rooms, which had Disney themes such as Pinocchio, at BayBees Pediatrics, Bradley's solo practice. A detective who viewed the assaults described in court papers the 6-foot, 225-pound Bradley as having a "violently enraged expression on his face" in one video involving a 2-year-old.
Geez... when I have kids, I'm not leaving them alone in a pediatrician's room. Which I thought the parents are supposed to be present anyway. My parents were always in the room with me when I was young and visiting the doctor/pediatrician.

I hope you have a memorable tomorrow, including, but not limited to, the promising, golden hours of morning, the full, rich bloom of afternoon, and of course, the quiet, gentle hours of evening, when time, pausing for an instant and breathing a small sigh, rushes forward to greet the newly forming day. ~George Carlin
