Delaware State Police said a Lewes pediatrician is facing charges after being accused of raping a 2-year-old girl.

Fifty-six-year-old Dr. Earl B. Bradley, who operates Baybee Pediatrics on Coastal Highway in Lewes, was arrested Wednesday morning on the charges of second-degree rape, first-degree unlawful sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child. All three are felonies.

Police said Bradley has been the focus of a year-long investigation by detectives involving multiple victims. Investigators said the recent charges against Bradley stemmed from an incident that allegedly took place between late October and early December of this year, and involved a 2-year-old girl.
[...]

Troop 4 detectives took Bradley into custody at his home early Wednesday morning. Detectives also conducted a search warrant at Bradley's medical office. According to police, detectives removed several computers and medical files from Bradley's office while conducting the search warrant.

Guarini said the year-long investigation has led police to other possible-victims and Bradley could face additional charges depending on the outcome of the investigations.

How the hell could this happen? I never left a kid alone with a doctor... especially not a 2-year old.

[MC30]

oh good god!

[peoplesuck]

Wow-I'm also curious how this could happen. I've got three girls and the oldest is 12. I've never, ever left any of them alone period, let alone when they are under the care of a doctor. Nor has any doctor requested to be alone with them.

How would he even have the time or access to do such a thing? Maybe she was hospitalized? That's the only way I can even imagine it.

[MC30]

the focus of a year-long investigation

it pisses me off to no end that even if they thought it was happening they waited a year.....//////
so it took them a year to get evidence against this guy? are they setting him up?


no really, ligit question. this one has me all confuzzled.

[TheDepressor]

I'm sorry if this comes across as sounding sexist because it is truly not my intention, but IMO, I believe that all male dr's, whether pediatricians, gyno, etc, should NEVER be alone with a female patient or any gender if it's a child. There should always be a nurse in the room with them. I don't know if it's mandatory or not because I've never looked into it, but my gyno is male and follows this. There is ALWAYS a female nurse present in the room, and not just during a pap. Ok, I'll retract the male dr so I don't sound sexist and just say all dr's.

all dr's should. and yes you sound sexist. but i don't care, and yes i agree.:hello:

[everhopeful]

Ok, I'll retract the male dr so I don't sound sexist and just say all dr's.

Honestly, I think this is a good policy to take.... Assuming the other person is trustworthy. But if I had kids, I wouldn't be leaving them alone with my doctor, and I've had the same doctor since I was a little girl.

Oh, I agree! I would never leave my kids. That's why I'm so curious as to how he had such access. My older son was hospitalized once as a toddler for an illness and I never left his side. I even slept over night with him. But, I know that's not possible for every parent to do. But, even if the child(ren) were in the hospital when he assaulted them, where were all the nurses and hospital staff? Visitors walking around? Even if it was the middle of the night and there were no visitors, there's still nurses, orderlies, etc. I just don't get how this scumbag was able to accomplish it...more than once!

[MC30]

it happens. if i find out it was all BS i will be so stoked. but i can't be so sad when i find out its real. :dong: btw i didn't mean it would make me sad as much as i wouldn't be suprised.


blah

[crickett]

I presume perhaps that:
The parent(s) were gullible
He asked them to leave the room during the "examination

I just can't figure out any other way.
Some people would leave because they still see a doctor as an authority figure. If he asked them, they would leave the room. Personally, I would think it odd if a pediatrician had ever asked me to leave the room while they "examined" my child. Most medical professionals want parent to stay with the child.

[Silvahalo]

Investigators said the recent charges against Bradley stemmed from an incident that allegedly took place between late October and early December of this year, and involved a 2-year-old girl. What his dick fell out and.......well, you know, just sounds odd.

NEVER would I leave my child alone with a male OR female doctor. I want to know at all times what is being checked and examined. Kids are like pets in this regard, you must watch them around people all the time. Just a simple rule I follow.

I hope this dick weed gets his junk examined and, oop!......an accident.

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Detectives began investigating Bradley after complaints to state police, Guarini said. He said police did not arrest Bradley sooner because they did not have evidence until the current complaint surfaced.
[...]

According to court documents, in an interview with the Children’s Advocacy Center, the victim, three months shy of her third birthday, went to visit Bradley’s office Dec. 7 for a checkup on a condition she has had since birth. Bradley examined the victim with her mother in the room. After the examination, Bradley carried the victim out of the room. Her mother stayed in the examination room because she trusted Bradley as her child’s doctor.

Bradley took the victim to a toy room in the basement of the office, something he often did to allow children to get a toy or candy after an examination. The two returned to the examination room two minutes later, and then headed back down to the basement, according to court documents. When they returned, the child had candy.

After lunch with her mother, the victim told her mother Bradley had hurt her while in the basement. The mother called the father, who said his daughter had complained of the same thing after being examined by Bradley Oct. 28.

[TDH]

disgusting.

[everhopeful]

So, wait, he took the kid out of the room for a couple of minutes to the toy chest, brought her back to the mother, then took her BACK to the toy chest a second time?

[Silvahalo]

Our pediatrician always brings the toy basket to the office after the examination. What a sick weirdo, takes baby down to the basement....I don't think so. Poor little one.

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Police received complaints from the parents of at least two other children who were patients of Dr. Earl B. Bradley before allegations from a third this month led officers to move in and file rape charges against the Lewes pediatrician.

Investigators actively looked into the two earlier allegations but found there was not enough evidence to support any criminal charges or even request a search warrant, said state police Cpl. Thomas Guarini.
[...]

Guarini said the matter was not dropped, even though police felt they had hit dead ends. When allegations came from the parents of a 2-year-old girl against the 56-year-old Bradley, investigators late Tuesday filed charges of second-degree rape, unlawful sexual contact with a child and child endangerment. They also followed up with a search warrant that in part was designed to substantiate or disprove the two earlier allegations.

Guarini stressed Thursday that in a Wednesday search of Bradley's BayBees Pediatrics office, police took only the medical records of patients involved in the case.
[...]

In general, Biden acknowledged such cases can be problematic because the children involved may be unaware they are victims and may be unable to clearly articulate what happened. "They are voiceless oftentimes," Biden said. And protective parents may not want their child "to have to relive it and be re-victimized during the process of prosecution."

Legal experts said child sexual-abuse cases present challenges because of the potentially explosive and scandalous nature of such criminal charges and because of the unique legal and practical considerations involved in dealing with a child victim.

Even if a child can manage to state what happened, there could be difficulties in having a child's testimony admitted at trial, said Widener Law School Associate Professor Jules Epstein. Some courts do not recognize a child under 3 as competent to testify, he said.

And if it is allowed, the court is presented with the challenge of how to deal with the right of the accused to confront or cross-examine a child while providing a measure of protection for a vulnerable victim, he said.

To get around these issues, a prosecutor might turn to the physical evidence, Epstein said. "The more physical evidence, the greater the ability to prosecute," he said.

But attorney Donald Roberts, who prosecuted sex crimes for 12 of his 15 years with the Delaware Attorney General's Office, said in child sexual-abuse cases, "there is seldom any physical evidence to substantiate a claim."

This leaves police and prosecutors back where they started, with the statements of a child and their parents.

One way state law enforcement deals with this is by having children interviewed at the Children's Advocacy Center of Delaware by a trained interviewer, who is careful to avoid "tainting" a child's description of events. Those interviews are generally recorded, providing first-person testimony from a child that could be used at trial in certain circumstances.

Roberts, who said he did not know specifics of the Bradley case, said the information from that interview has to be "clear cut" for police and prosecutors to act -- and indicate that a crime occurred, not just a misunderstanding.

Deputy Attorney General Patricia Dailey Lewis said those interviews, in general, often provide a framework for police and prosecutors and sometimes, when they are shown to the accused, lead to confessions.

Roberts also said that police and prosecutors are well aware of the potentially explosive nature of charging someone with a sex crime against a child, particularly if it is someone with standing in the community such as a pediatrician.

Law enforcement does not want to move hastily, Roberts said. In other words, police and prosecutors want to make sure they have a solid case -- that they believe will lead to a conviction, not just a day of headlines -- before they act.

"Timing is very important," Roberts said, and police and prosecutors, "are going to tread carefully," while at the same time moving quickly to protect others from potential abuse.

Roberts added it would be inappropriate, and possibly lead to a civil harassment lawsuit against the police, if law enforcement attempted to do anything before charges were filed that could have put parents or the doctor on notice that complaints were being investigated.

Such a move also could ruin whatever case investigators were developing, he said.

[lundwall1]

Call me sexist I don't care, but if I have a choice I DO NOT go to a male doctor. They are not a woman and have NO CLUE what it is like to be a woman - especially an OB. I would NEVER EVER let a doctor be alone in the room with my little girl - especially a male doctor, and they are certainly NOT taking her out of the room without me. I just don't trust them at all. I am in NYC and here to go to a male OB a nurse is SUPPOSE to be present at all times during the examination. And if I feel a doctor is unprofessional and improper in anyway with me (let alone if I had a 2 year old) I would have NO PROBLEM telling the doctor so. They work FOR ME -I AM PAYING THEM, it's NOT the other way around. Some people trust doctors too much as if they are Gods and know EVERYTHING and that all their choices are correct and not to be questioned - like letting them take your 2 year old daughter out of the room without you - no fucking way for for me. That poor little girl he is accused of raping and any other victims out there - he needs to be castrated

[Obsolete]

I prefer to only see male dr's. Every woman dr I've ever had was cold, rough, and impersonal. My 13 yr old dr recently had to have a painful cyst removed from an intimate area and she didn't feel comfortable with a male dr so we requested a female. We were in the er and it was the middle of the night so it took a while to track one down but it was worth it to make sure she was comfortable. She will probably always prefer a female dr and I will always support that, I just prefer males myself.

Both of my children had the same dr when they were little and he was a man. I remember the exam room didn't have the infant scales in them so the nurse would take the baby into another room and weight them in there. I always followed her, it wasn't because I didn't trust them... it never even dawned on me that someone there might hurt either of my children. For me it was just a natural reaction to go where my baby went.

In general I have to agree, though I'd say that the pairing and respective genders of the doctor and patient should be irrelevant, and it should be the patient's option whether or not to have an attending nurse present.

I, personally, prefer some of the actions doctors have to perform on me being done with minimal participation from others, even trained medical personnel. It's just a privacy thing.

That said, I absolutely support that a person should be allowed to request secondary supervision at their discretion, and it's almost always a red flag if a doctor requests to be alone with a child at such a young age. I can see cases where a child in their mid-to-late teens may request their parents leaving the room during a doctor visit. Lord knows there were probably things I would have preferred that on which I just let slip until I was old enough.

You don't sound sexist... you clearly are. That's okay, though - hell, all sorts of bigots hide behind the guise of "public safety". :wink:

But you think health care costs are high now? Wait until something like you suggest is mandated. The overwhelming majority of male doctors never violate their patients in any way, shape or form. To institute a policy like this to prevent what occurs in under .01% of visits it overreaching.

I do agree with Twisted, though, that you should be able to request a nurse should you care to. Although, at that point, I recommend you switch doctors. Being able to trust your health care provider implicitly is of th utmost importance.

Again, I have to agree with Athena.

I've run into problems with doctor-patient relationship several times in my past. I think it comes from being in one of the most conservative states in terms of gay rights, and being a gay man. I've had doctors show no interest in the aspects of my health that relate to my sexuality.

I would encourage everyone to have a doctor with whom they are comfortable. If you don't, you could be putting your health at risk because you either may avoid talking about things that you believe your doctor would want to avoid, or your doctor may give poor advice based on personal views and judgments that conflict with professional practice.

Quite some time ago there was a female nurse who worked in a TX hospital on the maternity ward in the nursery, an unusual amount of infant deaths occurred-the mortality rate just kepty climbing and climbing-nurses and other hospital officials suspected that she was killing these babies-they KNEW she was killing these babies. But do they report her? NO They were too damn afraid of any scandal - so they let her go with a glowing letter of recomendation. She goes on to get a position at a pediatrician's office. Her job was to weigh the babies, do their measurements etc. The doctor, mom and baby would be in the room and she would come in and take the baby to another room, and guess what would happen? All of a sudden a very healthy baby one minute would be gravely ill literally the next - and some of the babies would die. Come to find out she was injecting these babies with something - can;t remember what- when she would be alone with them and then try and play the hero-but many babies died. She was FINALLY caught when she was working for that pediatrician and the light went on for someone that every time she took a baby they would be sick. I wish I could remember her name and other details, but bottom line - DON'T let ANYONE take your baby/child into another room without you, don't be so willing to trust nurses, doctors etc, I know I would not!

[mdevilus]

Her name was Janine Jones & she was from San Antonio, TX. She is "retired" in the Woman's unit in Gainesville, TX (or is Gatesville?) Her own children do not even answer her letters. She was giving the babies shots of succinynal choline so that she could "revive" them & be the hero. She was diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome. She killed over 30 babies, most were perfectly healthy. Makes you wonder if there were more that just weren't documented. Some were premature & sickly so she thought she was doing them a favor I guess. Her own daughter is scared to have children now because she's afraid that she might snap one day. She doesn't want to chance it in case crazy is running through her blood. Janine thinks she is getting out one day & that there will be some happy family reunion. Her son wants nothing to do with her. Both of her children were adopted after she went to prison. She was adopted as well as a baby. It's ironic, her own granddaughter was extremely premature & probably would have been a mercy killing if she had been in that NICU!

I can't stand Delaware. First, every month when I drive up to New York I have to go through 7 miles of Delaware, and they charge you like $12 in tolls. Now that fucking state has child raping doctors?

Buahahahaha! A few years ago, we drove from Bethesda up to Fire Island, NY. We got tolled so heavily going through Delaware specifically, I said, "Damn, is Delaware broke or something?!?" Tolls aren't common here on the west coast, so it was a bizarre experience. One of many bizarre experiences on what became the most bizarre trip of my life.

That sounds like the first sentence of a great story. Please continue...

[Athena]

That sounds like the first sentence of a great story. Please continue...

Well, since it's so totally off-topic, I'll run through the short version, if I can manage. My dad and I were just laughing our asses off about this last night.

So, my mom had died. She grew up in Bethesda, and her family had a beach house on Fire Island, and she had always wanted her ashes to be spread there. My little sister had just hyper-extended her knee and couldn't fly, so my dad, my boyfriend Mike and I hopped on a plane and headed back east. My dad, just a week prior, had fallen into a camp fire while camping and burned his stomach pretty badly, which just added a layer of weird to things. Out of concern for my dad (partially), Mike and I brought quarter oz of weed and a heafty stash of pain pills with us. Little did we know the trip would turn into a slightly less exotic version of Fear and Loathing.

So, once in MD, we rented a mini-van and picked up two of my mom's 5 sisters to accompany us, because they insisted. These two aunts, Aze (Suzanne) and Denise were the closest to my mom, but magically morphed into Statler and Waldorf the second we started moving. Everything was crap and we were retarded for this, that and the other reason and this would be the constant background noise for the next 6 or so hours. Just to spice things up a little, we had arrived during the 17-year brood of cicadas, AND left on the hottest day of the year, with 105 degrees and 99% humidity. Oh, and it was the day of Reagan's funeral.

Upon leaving Delaware, we'd be tagged by tolls so many goddamn times, dad just left his wallet between his legs on the seat for easy access. That was a great plan right up until he and Mike decided they needed a pee break. So they pull over on the side of the highway, walk over to some tall grass and relieve themselves.

Boy, what a mistake THAT was.

When we reached the next toll, it was realized that, when dad slid out of his seat to exit the car, he had forgotten about his wallet and it had fallen on the ground. I covered the toll, we exited and headed back to the site. Despite more searching in the tall grass, the wallet was not to be recovered. Luckily, I had enough money to cover the rest of the trip, so we continued on.

We stopped at a rest station, and Mike and dad decided to use the facilities while I helped Statler and Waldorf get something to eat. When they emerge from the bathroom, they're laughing hysterically. Apparently, when they were in the bathroom, Mike noticed a tick on dad. Yeah, fuck long grass on the east coast. So they twirl around for each other, checking each other for ticks, of which there are several, and then they commence the grooming. Well, dad flicks the last tick off Mike... and it lands on some poor guy walking into the bathroom. Instead of informing him, they come tumbling out of the bathroom, red in the face and doubled over.

Fast forward to Brooklyn. We're doing circles and falling into worse and worse neighborhoods, hopelessly lost while we search for JFK express way or whatever. I'm marveling at the fact that it does look just like on TV - Brownstones with clotheslines between them and graffiti, solid, as high as the arm can reach. Dad gets frustrated enough to ask for directions. We see a man sitting in a lawn chair at a local gas station and pull up to him. As dad asks directions, it becomes apparent that this man is completely blind. Surprisingly, he got us exactly where we needed to go.

Finally, we close in on Bay Shore, where we plan to stay for the evening. Due to the tumultous nature of our drive, we all decide we could use a drink, and go in search of a liquor store. We don't see one immediately, so we ask a convenient store clerk. The man in the turbin leads us on a wild goose chase. We stop and ask another. This Sikh also leads us to nowhere. Finally, we ask a native who kindly informs us that liquor stores aren't open that day. Defeated, we head back to Bay Shore with a bunch of wine coolers (why not beer? I'm not really sure).

It's been dark awhile, now, and we drag our weary bodies into the Bay Shore Inn. It looks nice on the outside, but our slow-moving brains soon process the fact that smoking is allowed in the lobby and the clerk is encased in bulletproof glass. If you ever encounter such a scenario, WALK AWAY. It was too late for us, though. Mike sees a plaquard above the glass that says, "Jacuzzi rooms - extra $50". With a devilish smirk, he turns to me, points and says, "I've got an extra $50." I roll my eyes but tell him to go ahead.

We all head to our respective rooms. Mike and I open the door to ours and are greeted by such a bizarre sight, we're speechless for about 5 seconds before bursting into laughter. Our "jacuzzi room" consisted of black carpet with rainbows on it, sexually suggestive "art" on the walls, a meager card table and two chairs next to a window covered by what appeared to be burlap curtains, a king-sized bed complete with a full-size mirror trimmed with Hollywood track lighting on the ceiling above it and one of those machines that accepts coins in exchange for making the bed shake. Oh, and the "jacuzzi" - a tub with air jets that's sitting right in the room. Bow-chicka-wow-wow.

This is just too classic, so I call my dad's room and, without giving anything away, invite him down. When he comes in, his reaction is about the same, only he's got the extra hilarity of seeing Mike across the room in a pair of shorts, splashing away in the tub. We and I sit at the unstable card table, kicking back wine coolers and smoking cigs until we decide our efforts are futile, pop a vicoden each and wait to get knocked out. Dad heads back up to his room, Mike dries off and we don't even take advantage of the awesome (lol!) porn bed.

The next day, we set off for Fire Island to do the deed. We understand that it is, in fact, illegal to spread ashes in such a manner, but fuck it. We're doing it. We get there, head to a chunk of public beach and I dig a hole in the sand near the incoming tide. We pull out the solid, well-sealed box of ashes and - fuck. We didn't bring anything to open it with. I see a ranger, so I think I'm going to use my 21 year old female wiles to extract a screwdriver from him. Yeah, my "wiles" worked a little TOO well, and he wants to take a look at the "car problem" I need the screwdriver for. Backed into a corner, I frantically spill the beans, hoping he'll take pity and turn a blind eye - and facilitate the criminality with his screwdriver. It works! He pulls out a screw driver, sets it on the bed of his truck then turns around. I thank him a million times as I make my way back.

We performed the deed, albeit awkwardly, and headed back to Bethesda. Luckily, the ride back wasn't NEARLY as interesting. I don't think we could have taken much more.

The story's much better in person, by the way. I get to gesture and stuff.

[Twisted]

Oh, the east coast is fantastic. Nowhere I'd want to live personally because it's SUCH a culture shift, but a fantastic place to visit. I've spent a good deal of time in D.C. and Philadelphia specifically and can't wait to go back. The history is a marvel. And if you haven't been to the Museaum of Natural History at the Smithsonian, specifically the gem exhibit (where the Hope Diamond is housed), you're seriously missing out.

A Lewes pediatrician was charged Friday with 26 new counts related to the sexual abuse of female patients ranging in age from three months to 13 years, police said.

Dr. Earl B. Bradley, 56, who operates BayBees Pediatrics, is being held on nearly $3 million cash bail after being re-arrested Friday. The action came after state police raided his practice Wednesday and seized computers and digital recording equipment that helped identify the victims, they said.

The charges are in addition to ones filed earlier this week after the parents of a 2-year-old girl came forward to report alleged abuse of their daughter. That enabled detectives investigating other complaints against Bradley to get a warrant to search his offices.

The search resulted in the discovery of graphic video files showing Bradley molesting and raping children, according to court documents.

A veteran computer forensic investigator said in court records that a series of video clips lasting almost 15 minutes and showing a 2-year-old were "one of the most violent and brutal attacks on a child of any age that he has seen captured on video."
[...]

According to court records, Bradley kept video recordings made with a hand-held device in what he called the "Pinocchio" examining room, a toy room in the basement of his office where children would get treats and an out-building on the rear of his property where he would escort the children without their parents.

The videos date back to Aug. 7. The last recording was made Sunday, police said in court records.

In the last recording, a 2- to 3-year-old girl was seen screaming and trying to run away from Bradley, according to court records.

I feel there is an extra special place in hell for a person who swears an oath to "Do no harm" and then does something like this.

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Lewes pediatrician Earl B. Bradley is now suspected of raping or molesting at least 16 patients, and more victims could be discovered in the widening investigation, according to court documents obtained Monday.
[...]

Officers found six hand-held video cameras in the BayBees complex, which included Disney-themed examination rooms, a basement toy room and an adjoining garage, where he often took children to give them candy, ice cream or other treats -- all places where police said he committed and filmed sex acts.

Because the kids on the videos could not be identified, police seized scheduling computers at the office in hopes of matching appointments with video time stamps. The list of what was taken in Friday's office search has not yet been made public.

During a brief interview with Bradley after his arrest Dec. 15, Elliott wrote, the doctor said he had computers at his house that he uses to remotely connect to his office.

Police searched the three-story home at about 9:45 a.m. on Dec. 17, looking for computer or video evidence of child pornography. Bradley's son, one of the doctor's four grown children, signed the document that listed the items seized.

During the search, officers took several computers, laptops, still and video cameras, more than 100 DVD and VHS tapes and dozens of reel-to-reel films.

Sgt. Walter Newton, state police spokesman, said investigators expect to uncover more evidence on the items taken from the house. "We just got all this hardware and have to do the forensic examination and extract data and look for hidden files and images,'' Newton said .

Newton did not know whether Bradley ever practiced in New Jersey or Florida, where he has held medical licenses. He said Delaware will notify three other states about the arrest. Bradley previously had a license in Pennsylvania, where he attended medical school and did his residency.

GEORGETOWN -- A pediatrician charged with sexually abusing his patients likely attacked more than 100 children at an office he had decked out with a merry-go-round and a ferris wheel, a state official said Wednesday.

The volume of evidence seized from Dr. Earl Bradley's practice and home, including video tapes and computer files, makes it difficult to estimate the number of victims, said Alexis Slutsky, a deputy attorney general assigned to the state's Child Predator Task Force.
"I'm comfortable in saying probably well over 100 potential victims," she said at a news conference with Attorney General Beau Biden and other law enforcement officials.
Slutsky said the investigation is focusing on cases between 1998 and the present.

Doctor's attorney says case is "difficult".....



LEWES, Del. (AP/WBOC)- A lawyer for a Delaware pediatrician whom prosecutors say may have abused as many as 100 children says the case is difficult.

Eugene Maurer acknowledges the accusations against 56-year-old Dr. Earl B. Bradley of Lewes are "quite heinous." He says that's the case whether it is one victim or 100.

Police have arrested Bradleyh on 33 counts relating to seven victims ranging in age from 3-months to 13-years-old.

Maurer met Bradley on Wednesday for the first time. Maurer says he does not know much about the doctor's background, but called Bradley's mental health history "a potential issue." However, Maurer says he needs to get more information before deciding how to defend him.

A hearing Wednesday for Bradley was postponed amid what state officials said were concerns about Bradley's mental state, including concerns he is suicidal. Maurer says his client is not suicidal and he does not know why he is on a suicide watch.

He is being held on $2.9 million bond.

Maybe the attorney is trying to do us all a favor with that statement.....

Delaware's Board of Medical Practice ordered an emergency suspension of the license of the Lewes pediatrician charged with raping nine children ranging in age from a 3-month-old to a 13-year-old.

Though detectives had been investigating Temple University graduate Dr. Earl Bradley for about a year, and suspect him of raping or molesting many more patients, state police spokesman Sgt. Walter Newton says the medical board did not know of the probe until Bradley's arrest.

Officials found the doctor was “an imminent danger to the public” and decided immediate disciplinary action was warranted, according to the Division of Professional Regulation Director James Collins.
[...]

A woman who said she watched Bradley inappropriately touch her daughter in 1999 during a doctor's visit said she filed a report with state police at least four years ago after hearing of similar complaints from other parents.

"This could have been stopped years ago," said the woman, who asked that her name not be published to avoid identifying her daughter.

Other parents wondered why Bradley was allowed to keep practicing after police began investigating more recent complaints over the past year. They also complained that police were slow in responding to them.
[...]

Bradley's inactive Pennsylvania license was suspended last week. He has New Jersey and Florida licenses, but it does not appear that he practiced medicine there.

Nearly five years ago, Milford detectives wanted to charge pediatrician Earl Bradley for inappropriately kissing a 3-year-old patient, but the Attorney General's Office decided "they could not win the case," Milford police said.

While a prosecutor has said Bradley's crimes could date to 1998, this week's revelation by Milford police Lt. Edward Huey about the 2005 complaint was the first time authorities have said they believed he could have been arrested earlier, potentially sparing later alleged victims.

The account also forced Beebe Medical Center to acknowledge -- after previous denials -- that officials there were aware of complaints against Bradley long before he was arrested.

And now we see...

More than a year before pediatrician Earl Bradley was charged in December with raping nine young girls, police investigators had received complaints from eight alleged victims, including one who claimed her abuse occurred as far back as 1999, according to court records obtained by The News Journal.

The documents also contain police accounts of six unidentified witnesses who worked with him, including three doctors and a nurse. They described an eccentric pediatrician who conducted long or inappropriate vaginal exams on young girls, often took them alone to get "prizes" and installed video cameras in his offices.

One fellow pediatrician "indicated he referred to Dr. Bradley as a pedophile when talking to colleagues," state police Detective Thomas Elliott wrote in a probable-cause affidavit used to search Bradley's BayBees Pediatrics office near Lewes on Dec. 16 -- the day of his arrest.

DOVER — A Delaware grand jury has returned a sweeping indictment against a pediatrician accused of serial child molestation.

The indictment against Dr. Earl Bradley of Lewes was handed up by a Sussex County grand jury this afternoon. It charges Bradley with more than 400 counts of criminal conduct.

Bradley was arrested in December and initially charged with 29 felony counts for allegedly abusing nine children, but state prosecutors have said there could be as many as 100 victims.

While I agree with you in theory, in practice, resources are limited, and pursuing cases that can't be won often usurps resources from cases that can be won.

If they had an inkling that the scope of his victimization was anywhere near this large, more would have been done. But at the time, for all they knew, it could have been a baseless allegation from a mother who decided the doctor charged too much or something.

And, some victims parents have filed civil suits:

LEWES -- At least six families have now filed lawsuits against a pediatrician accused of pedophilia and a Lewes hospital where he once practiced, seeking damages for child sexual abuse.

One family of a 3-year-old sued Bradley and the hospital earlier this month. The complaint accused the hospital of failing to report concerns about Bradley and failing to oversee his behavior, despite signs of trouble.

Five more lawsuits were filed last week on behalf of children ages 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, all by the same pair of attorneys, Hudson and Ben Castle. The lawsuits accuse Bradley of "sexual abuse on various occasions" throughout the children's lives, and charged Beebe Medical Center with negligence and "wanton and reckless conduct" in failing to report Bradley to appropriate medical and social service agencies.

....with video cameras that police allege recorded Bradley committing vicious and sometimes enraged sexual assaults against infants and young children.

A Delaware grand jury returned a sweeping indictment Monday against a pediatrician accused of serial molestation in what could be one of the worst child sex abuse cases in the nation's history.

The 160-page indictment returned by a Sussex County grand jury charges of Lewes with 471 counts of sexual crimes against 103 children.

The parents learned of the horrors just before Christmas. Bradley was arrested after 15 years as a pediatrician in the town of Lewes, a sleepy fishing village of 3000 on the Delaware shore.

Bradley was a popular doctor with children, reports CBS News Chief Legal Correspondent Jan Crawford. A visit to his office, called Bay Bees Pediatrics, was like going to an amusement park with a Ferris wheel and a merry-go-round

Local father Donnie Nauman Jr., said, "Almost everybody knows somebody that, yeah, their kid went there."

"He wanted the kids to come to him," Nauman told CBS News. "When they said they were going to Dr. Bradley's, they were like, 'Yay! We're going to Dr. Bradley because he's got the rides.'"

Attorney General Beau Biden said all of the alleged victims, including one boy, were caught on more than 13 hours of video recordings, some dating to 1998, that were seized from Bradley's office and home.

"The charges in this indictment are unique in the history of the state of Delaware, as far as I can tell," he said.

"These were crimes committed against the most vulnerable among us - those without voices," Biden added as tears welled in his eyes and he paused to collect himself.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/22/national/main6232428.shtml

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Attorney General Beau Biden expects even more victims to be found.
[...]

The vast majority of the crimes occurred since 2007, the indictment said. One victim, Jane Doe No. 39, was raped 15 times over 13 months, prosecutors allege.
[...]

Police and prosecutors have accused Bradley of almost unspeakable depravity – holding toddlers upside down and yelling at them while committing sex acts; penetrating a girl’s vagina with his hand when she was brought in for a sore throat, according to previously released court documents. In one Dec. 13 recording made three days before his arrest, a 2- to 3-year-old girl was seen screaming and trying to run away from Bradley, police wrote.
[...]

Bradley’s arrest in December came after two previous attempts to build cases against him collapsed – once in 2005, when prosecutors did not file offensive-touching charges against him for excessive kissing of a 3-year-old girl, authorities have said, and again in 2008 after three parents told state police about inappropriate vaginal exams, but a Superior Court judge would not authorize a search warrant for his office.

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.

Delaware State Police
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.

Newton said he did not know if Bradley had an attorney. A listed home phone number could not be found for Bradley, and prison officials would not allow a call through to him for comment Tuesday night.

The detective, who noted he had viewed thousands of child molestation images, described the video "as one of the most violent and brutal attacks on a child of any age" that he had seen.

"At the end of the tape, the defendant re-dresses, offers the child a treat and tells her they are going in to see 'Mommy,'" according to the documents.

In another video, Bradley abuses a patient who tried twice to run away, the documents said. Some of the video clips were 20 to 30 seconds. Others lasted more than 11 minutes.

Lewes, Delaware, ground zero for what is clearly emerging as one of the worst cases of child sexual abuse in American history. Former doctor, Earl Bradley, accused of raping 103 children at his Baybee`s pediatrics office. Prosecutors say they have 13 hours of videotape that Bradley made of himself sexually assaulting his young victims
According to the 471-count indictment, five girls, quote, "appeared to lose consciousness" during the alleged attacks. Forty-four of those counts relate to one child who prosecutors say was raped repeatedly over a 13- month period. Cops say then-Dr. Earl Bradley forced her to perform oral sex on him and essentially choked her. Why isn`t this attempted murder? And why didn`t somebody stop this depraved sicko a lot sooner?
Dr. Bradley`s history of sexual misconduct complaints dates back to -- anybody want to take a guess? 1994! Yet no arrests came until just a couple of months ago, this past December.

Forty-eight victims last year alone
depravity appears to run in the sicko doctor`s family. Bradley`s uncle, a retired teacher with a doctorate, who is now dead, was convicted of lewd behavior and exposing himself to young girls back in 1992. He was reportedly accused once of asking a 4-year-old girl to perform oral sex on him. What is the family connection? There
`s a culture of secrecy in the medical community that failed all the patients, and it has to stop. A lot of doctors knew that there was something funny with this guy and broke the law by not going to the authorities. That has a lot of people angry.
Five years ago, his own sister reported suspicions about his behavior to the state medical society.

Two years ago, three parents accused him of inappropriate vaginal exams. An unnamed judge refused to issue a search warrant of the doctor`s office. Nobody will name this mystery judge. Why not? Who is this guy? rest is at http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1002/24/ijvm.01.html

As investigators work to identify more than 100 children allegedly abused by a Delaware pediatrician, some families are struggling with whether to find out if their children are among the victims.

Authorities want parents of Dr. Earl Bradley's patients to provide photographs to compare with videos they claim Bradley used to document his sexual abuse.

Some parents have decided not to provide the photographs, saying their children seem fine and there's nothing to gain from finding out if they were abused.

But authorities say they have an obligation to help victims, and that children with no symptoms of abuse could have memories that surface later.

One expert says it's usually best to determine whether abuse has happened, but that parents shouldn't be coerced or pressured.

Delaware crime: Dr. Earl Bradley's attorneys back out Private lawyers say 'no assets' available for defense (http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20100318/NEWS01/3180345/0/NEWS/Bradley-s-attorneys-back-out)



The two Wilmington attorneys hired by alleged pedophile pediatrician Earl B. Bradley to defend him against charges of raping or sexually abusing 103 patients have left the case, putting Bradley's defense in the hands of taxpayer-funded lawyers.
Gene Maurer said Wednesday that he and fellow private attorney Paul Kania cannot defend the Lewes doctor because Attorney General Beau Biden's office has filed court papers seeking to freeze Bradley's assets.
The charges against Bradley, 56, would rank him among the worst pedophiles in U.S. history. He stands accused of abusing 102 girls and one boy in examination rooms, a play area and an outbuilding being converted into a movie theater at his Disney-themed office on Coastal Highway.

The attacks, which police reports and a grand jury indictment say were filmed by Bradley, occurred from 1998 through December on victims as young as 3 months old. On tapes seized by police during raids on his office, police said, Bradley is seen forcing intercourse and oral sex on girls, sometimes barking orders at them. Five girls appeared to lose consciousness or stop breathing during the attacks, the February indictment said.
Ugh, the part about him barking orders at these poor girls makes me feel like I'm gonna vomit. I hope they are too young to remember, and that they (and their families) are able to heal mentally & physically.

The allegations against Lewes pediatrician Earl B. Bradley might be the most heinous in U.S. history, but he's far from the only pediatrician accused of being a pedophile.

In the past 10 years, dozens of doctors have been accused of abusing hundreds of children. Many of those cases took decades to uncover, and experts believe many other pedophiles are operating undetected.

Bradley's case stands out because of the depravity of his alleged crimes, said Dr. Eli Newberger, a professor at Harvard Medical School and a pediatrician who has studied child-abuse cases for almost 40 years. "It's the worst pediatrician abuse case I've ever heard of."

Some of Bradley's actions alleged by prosecutors -- videotaping himself forcing oral and vaginal sex on children as young as 3 months old -- were "incredibly traumatic" and violent, he said.

"The fact that the children tried to escape is an unassailable negative," said Newberger, who has agreed to testify in a civil case filed by families of Bradley's alleged victims.

"The fact that he caused children to lose consciousness during these acts -- these are profoundly hurtful acts, and frankly I've never heard of anything that's been so assiduously documented as it was here," Newberger said.

But Bradley's methods, as alleged by prosecutors, are not new in a profession offering steady access to children.

Experts said they follow a pattern established by numerous abusers: A methodical, cautious approach to securing victims often goes undetected or overlooked by parents and colleagues. Many abuse for decades. In a handful of cases -- including Bradley's -- hospitals have been accused of willfully ignoring warning signs, either for fear of litigation or out of simple denial that a physician could commit such acts, experts said.

"It's all the same dynamics as [abusive] priests," said Carla van Dam, a clinical psychologist in Seattle and author of "The Socially Skilled Child Molester."

This guy is beyond creepy...

Aspiring physician Earl Bradley hoped to land a coveted seat on the Temple University School of Medicine’s admission board.

Two students would be picked. Bradley promoted his candidacy in an essay.

“He submitted this formal letter, written in crayon and magic marker, that railed against the whole admissions system, saying it took him like seven times to get accepted,” recalled Dr. Roland Beverly, then a student council member and now a California dermatologist.

“We decided he was probably not the right guy.”

The bitter diatribe, written about three decades ago, stands out as one of the few occasions when the quiet, brooding Bradley revealed darker emotions.

Bearded, with thick shaggy hair, he was a loner. Those who met him considered him odd – but none suspected he possessed the sort of demons police say compelled him to rape or sexually abuse at least 103 girls.

None could imagine Bradley recording and saving videos of the attacks.
[...]

Though experts say it’s difficult to determine how a sexual interest in children is cultivated, Bradley as a child exhibited traits common among pedophiles.

His parents died when he was young. His dad reportedly had an interest in child porn and an uncle was convicted of lewd conduct with girls.

Bradley had trouble connecting with peers as a youth and later with adults, including parents whose children he treated. He had an unusual fascination with toys and showered affection on his young patients. Although many wondered about his messy hair, dirty clothes and obsession with hugging and kissing young girls, they considered him a good, if eccentric, doctor.

Bradley waives his right to a jury trial.


DOVER, Del. (AP/WBOC)- A former Delaware pediatrician charged with sexually assaulting scores of patients over more than a decade wants to waive his right to a jury trial.

A hearing on the request by Earl Bradley is scheduled for Monday morning in Wilmington. Last month, the judge in the case denied a request by Bradley's attorneys to suppress evidence seized by police executing a search warrant at his office in Lewes.

http://www.wboc.com/story/14588221/accused-del-doctor


That evidence reportedly includes homemade videos showing Bradley molesting patients. Bradley's trial, which has been moved from Sussex County to New Castle County, is scheduled to begin June 1.

Bradley, of Lewes, has been in custody since he was arrested in December 2009. He is accused of sexually abusing more than 100 young patients.

[crimsonsorrow]

this is one of the top 3 most horrid stories I have ever read on DD. Not a lot of stories had me gasping aloud like this one. I could not be a parent who sat back and hid my child from the case. I understand their meaning, but this guy needs to fry. Seriously. To be so violent, so consistent, the "losing consciousness" has me in tears at this point. It's just something that I wish I could un-read, right now (no offense to DD)

Bradley seeking a stipulated trial:


But with this week's waiver of a New Castle County jury trial by Bradley and his abandoning of a mental-health defense, the case could go back to Sussex County, where the alleged assaults occurred, and the whole proceeding -- set to begin June 1 -- may now take only days or even hours, legal experts said.
The indications are that Bradley will be seeking a "stipulated trial," something attorneys and legal observers say is not only likely but also probably the strongest legal move his defense team can make at this point.

http://www.delmarvanow.com/article/20110514/NEWS01/110514007/SUSSEX-Bradley-likely-seek-fast-trial?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|frontpage


Bradley's attorneys argue that the December 2009 police search of Bradley's Lewes offices was flawed because they failed to list a building with a checkerboard design where investigators discovered the videos. Retired Widener Law professor Thomas J. Reed said he does not understand why -- when investigators discovered there was an additional building on the property -- they did not stop the search and get a second warrant that clearly listed the building.


Carpenter sharply criticized police and prosecutors for the search but ruled in the state's favor, stating that the "taint of a prior illegality" in the first search was lifted by a subsequent warrant that would have led to the discovery of the videos.


Some attorneys describe a stipulated trial as an "all-but-guilty" plea where defense attorneys enter no objections to the state's evidence -- or may even agree to a statement of facts crafted by prosecutors -- so that they can get almost directly to an appeal.


In Bradley's case, that would allow his defense to get back to what appears to be the weakest part of the state's case -- the seizure of videos from Bradley's BayBees Pediatrics office that purportedly show him molesting patients.


"[A stipulated trial] makes eminent sense," said defense attorney and former prosecutor Peter N. Letang.

[SqueezeBoxx]

This guy will undoubtedly have a miserable rest of his life when the guys in prison find out what he's done. I'm sure it will be pretty short too. I have only had my child taken into an x-ray without me present but I don't think that will ever happen again.

[princessgrandma]

Vaginal intercourse with children as young as three months old? Barking orders at girls he was molesting? A child is seen crying and trying to run away from him? OMG. If it turned out that my pediatrician was a molestor, I swear he'd never make it to trial. I'd have to put him six feet under.

Those poor little kids. They thought they were going to have fun at the doctor's office, like at Disney or some other amusement, and instead they end up walking into a living nightmare ALONE.

Due to things that happened when I was younger, and yes, I was sexually abused, I cannot have a male doctor, not even my psych doctor. I know that sounds crazy but there is no way I'd walk into a room and take my clothes off in front of a male doctor. I just can't do it.

I feel so bad for those babies, as well as the older kids. What a horror to have to carry in your mind.

GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP/WBOC)- The trial of a former Delaware pediatrician charged with abusing scores of patients over more than a decade is under way, with the 470 counts in the original indictment consolidated into 24 counts of rape, sexual assault and sexual exploitation of a child.


The prosecution read a list Tuesday of facts that the defense had agreed to, outlining details of the amended indictment. The stipulation disclosed that one of Bradley's alleged victims, who is now 4-years-old, is the child of a woman who worked for Bradley.

The child is identified only as Jane Doe (hash)39. She is listed in five separate counts of the indictment. The alleged crimes against her involved four counts of first-degree rape and one count of second-degree assault related to Bradley allegedly forcing her to perform oral sex to the point where she could not breathe sufficiently.

If there is any justice in the world, this monster will get what he deserves. A pedophile in a position such as a doctor is like a kid in a candy shop. It was his own private playground and he left a long list of victims behind him, with every intention of going on and on. If he had not been stopped, he would have continued his practice in every way, with no regret whatsoever for what he has done.

I've done some reading and research on pedophiles. They truly believe that their twisted ideas actually constitute a sexual orientation. It isn't. It is a sick mind that seeks out children, BABIES, for sexual gratification. They've tried to attach themselves to the gay rights movement and the gays are having no part of it. They know monsters when they see them.

Quite some time ago there was a female nurse who worked in a TX hospital on the maternity ward in the nursery, an unusual amount of infant deaths occurred-the mortality rate just kepty climbing and climbing-nurses and other hospital officials suspected that she was killing these babies-they KNEW she was killing these babies. But do they report her? NO They were too damn afraid of any scandal - so they let her go with a glowing letter of recomendation. She goes on to get a position at a pediatrician's office. Her job was to weigh the babies, do their measurements etc. The doctor, mom and baby would be in the room and she would come in and take the baby to another room, and guess what would happen? All of a sudden a very healthy baby one minute would be gravely ill literally the next - and some of the babies would die. Come to find out she was injecting these babies with something - can;t remember what- when she would be alone with them and then try and play the hero-but many babies died. She was FINALLY caught when she was working for that pediatrician and the light went on for someone that every time she took a baby they would be sick. I wish I could remember her name and other details, but bottom line - DON'T let ANYONE take your baby/child into another room without you, don't be so willing to trust nurses, doctors etc, I know I would not!

Oh, I know who you're talking about:Genene Jones (http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/angels/genene_jones/1.html).

And it just keeps getting sicker.


GEORGETOWN -- Describing the brutality of rapes pediatrician Earl B. Bradley admits he committed, a state trooper testified Tuesday that the doctor had to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on victims who appeared to stop breathing and turned "ashen gray."

The disclosure that some girls appeared to lose consciousness, both choking and suffocating, when he forced oral sex on them led two women to storm out of the hushed courtroom.


The defense did not cross-examine the troopers and called no witnesses of its own. At the trial's end, Bradley stood up and told Superior Court Judge William C. Carpenter Jr. he had "decided not to testify."

Carpenter told attorneys and spectators, including more than two dozen parents and relatives of victims, that he would review the evidence -- including videos of dozens of rapes and sexual assaults recorded by Bradley -- before issuing his verdict in open court. Carpenter gave no timetable following the short bench trial, held after Bradley waived his right to a jury trial.

I can't find any reference to family... other than a sister who worked as an office manager and reportedly turned him in to the medical board.

I read he has 4 adult children.

Lewes pediatrician Earl B. Bradley is now suspected of raping or molesting at least 16 patients, and more victims could be discovered in the widening investigation, according to court documents obtained Monday.


Officers found six hand-held video cameras in the BayBees complex, which included Disney-themed examination rooms, a basement toy room and an adjoining garage, where he often took children to give them candy, ice cream or other treats -- all places where police said he committed and filmed sex acts.

Because the kids on the videos could not be identified, police seized scheduling computers at the office in hopes of matching appointments with video time stamps. The list of what was taken in Friday's office search has not yet been made public.

During a brief interview with Bradley after his arrest Dec. 15, Elliott wrote, the doctor said he had computers at his house that he uses to remotely connect to his office.

Police searched the three-story home at about 9:45 a.m. on Dec. 17, looking for computer or video evidence of child pornography. Bradley's son, one of the doctor's four grown children, signed the document that listed the items seized.

During the search, officers took several computers, laptops, still and video cameras, more than 100 DVD and VHS tapes and dozens of reel-to-reel films.

Sgt. Walter Newton, state police spokesman, said investigators expect to uncover more evidence on the items taken from the house. "We just got all this hardware and have to do the forensic examination and extract data and look for hidden files and images,'' Newton said .


Newton did not know whether Bradley ever practiced in New Jersey or Florida, where he has held medical licenses. He said Delaware will notify three other states about the arrest. Bradley previously had a license in Pennsylvania, where he attended medical school and did his residency.

GUILTY ***************


GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) - A former Delaware pediatrician was found guilty Thursday of sexually assaulting scores of young patients at his office, which was decked out with a merry-go-round and a small Ferris wheel.

Prosecutors said Earl Bradley, 58, took homemade videos of the abuse. He was found guilty of all 24 counts, including 14 counts of rape. He will be sentenced Aug. 26 and could be sentenced to life in prison on each of those counts.

He showed no visible reaction when the verdict was announced, but some of the spectators cried.

BUT they will appeal.


Bradley's defense attorneys opted for the quick trial so they could appeal the judge's decision allowing the videos to be used as evidence.

Former Delaware pediatrician Earl Bradley will spend the rest of his life in prison for committing horrific acts of sexual abuse against scores of young patients over more than a decade, a judge ruled Friday.

Bradley, 58, showed no emotion as Judge William Carpenter Jr. sentenced him to 14 life sentences without parole for 14 counts of first-degree rape. Bradley also was sentenced to more than 160 years in prison for multiple counts of assault and sexual exploitation of a child.

Under state law, a life sentence is mandatory for a person convicted of rape against three or more separate victims.

“You will never be in a position to harm a child again,” Carpenter told Bradley, saying the serial pedophile had violated the trust of his patients and their families, the morals of the southern Delaware community of Lewes, and his oath as a medical professional to do no harm to his patients.

“You have severely violated that trust, and you have shamed your profession,” Carpenter told Bradley.
[...]

Public defender Dean Johnson did not address the court, and Bradley also chose not to speak.

“It’s the sentence that was expected,” Johnson said afterward, adding that Bradley “is putting great stock” in the defense’s appeal of a ruling by Carpenter allowing the videotapes of Bradley’s sexual assaults to be admitted as evidence.
[...]

Johnson said Friday that he would file notice of the appeal within days.

After Carpenter allowed the tapes into evidence, Bradley waived his right to a jury trial. At a one-day bench trial in June, prosecutors presented testimony from two police investigators and gave Carpenter more than 13 hours of videos showing sex crimes against more than 80 victims, most of whom were toddlers.

In his testimony, state police detective Scott Garland described the rapes caught on video as brutal and violent. He explained how some videos showed Bradley with his hands wrapped tightly around the heads of young children, violently forcing them to perform oral sex on him. When Bradley was finished with such assaults, he would lift up the young victims by the head and throw them several feet onto a couch in the rear of the building where investigators found the damning videos, Garland testified. Bradley sometimes would perform “rescue breathing” and chest rubs to revive the semiconscious victims, the detective added.

A Sussex County developer and real estate agent is the new owner of Earl Bradley's former office property on Del. 1, where the onetime pediatrician raped or sexually abused more than 80 of his young patients.

Owner Bruce W. Geyer told The News Journal he has no specific plans for the commercial site, and has been primarily focused on getting the buildings -- and their bad memories -- demolished. That is expected to happen sometime in September.
[...]

He said his feelings about the 17,490-square-foot property -- including a main office building and several outbuildings -- were the same as residents who have loudly called for it to be torn down.

"It's probably one of the -- if not the worst -- most heinous crimes committed by anybody," Geyer said.

Panel to report following Bradley child sex abuse case

A state panel formed to address the mental health needs of child sexual assault victims, including those victimized by a former Delaware pediatrician
[...]
The study group was formed in the wake of the scandal involving former Lewes pediatrician Earl Bradley, who is serving life in prison for sexually abusing scores of young patients over more than a decade.

The group, chaired by Lt. Gov. Matt Denn, was to issue its final report and recommendations Monday.

The group was tasked with assessing child mental health needs in Kent and Sussex counties, with a focus on child victims of sexual assault.http://www.wdel.com/story.php?id=41390

[Dakota Valkyrie]

I looked up what was released today:


A panel formed to address the mental health needs of child sexual assault victims is recommending that the state recruit two psychiatrists to serve Sussex County.

In an eight-page report released Monday, the panel, formed in the wake of the pedophilia scandal involving former Lewes pediatrician Earl Bradley, also recommended that the Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services and other state agencies do more to address the mental health needs of Hispanic children.

"Prevention and treatment services for that population can be challenging because of the language barrier," said Lt. Gov. Matt Denn, chairman of the study group.

The report also recommends monitoring the demand for mental health services in Kent and Sussex counties in order to respond properly in case other victims of Bradley come forward.

"Because of extraordinary diligence by law enforcement authorities, prosecutors and health care providers, it appears that currently-known victims of Dr. Bradley are receiving appropriate and timely treatment," the report stated. "However, it is impossible to know precisely how many of Dr. Bradley's victims have yet to report their abuse, and the division believes that over time, the number of post-traumatic stress and substance abuse cases arising specifically from Dr. Bradley's abuse could increase dramatically."
[...]

The panel recommended that the two child psychiatrists recruited for Sussex County, with an emphasis on serving the rural western part of the county, be willing to practice in consultation with family doctors and pediatricians, rather than providing all services in a one-on-one manner.

It also suggested that state officials review mental health provider networks under private insurance plans to ensure that they can adequately meet children's needs.

"There was some feeling on the part of some of the task force members that the reimbursement being paid by some of our insurance provider were not adequate," Denn noted.

Other recommendations by the panel include centralized case management for child victims of trauma, and additional training for child mental health professionals in dealing with children who are victims of trauma but whose symptoms fall below the threshold for post-traumatic stress disorder. Denn said better early intervention in those cases could help ward off more serious problems in the future.

The report will be submitted to Gov. Jack Markell and legislative leaders in the General Assembly for their consideration.http://www.postcrescent.com/usatoday/article/38777611?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|p

No bidders raised their hands when the Lewes home of convicted pedophile Dr. Earl Bradley went on the auction block, disappointing neighbors and town officials who said the house is a reminder of the evil acts of its owner.

The opening bid of $230,000 set by U.S. Bank wasn't matched by any of the roughly 20 people attending the sheriff's sale, so the property reverts to the bank's control.

The house, on the main artery leading into downtown Lewes, has been vacant since Bradley, a pediatrician, was arrested in 2009 and charged with raping more than 80 children.
[...]

Neighbors and others, including Mayor Jim Ford, had expressed hope that someone would buy and renovate -- or even raze -- the house, and erase that reminder.

"I'm not surprised that there wasn't much interest in it," Ford said after the auction. "Hopefully, the bank will be able to reach someone interested in acquisition."

Although many wondered about his messy hair, dirty clothes and obsession with hugging and kissing young girls, they considered him a good, if eccentric, doctor.

He was dirty and had an obsession with hugging and kissing young girls and NO ONE seen a problem with this before it was too late??? My ass would have been out of there before any exam ever took place. I am not sure if it is the state of Indiana, their office policy or just the actual doctor in the office that I usually see who has the policy, but before any pap exam or pelvic exam he asks a nurse to come into the room with him. Always has since I have been going there. When my girls were assaulted, he asked a nurse to come into the room, and I was also in the room during the exams. I have never seen a doctor that I can remember where there wasn't a female in the room overseeing what was going on.
