Police testify at trial of doctor accused of raping toddlers

Tue, Jun 7 2011

By Dave Warner

GEORGETOWN, Del (Reuters) - The trial of a Delaware pediatrician accused of raping and sexually assaulting his young patients opened on Tuesday, with police describing videotapes the doctor allegedly made of the attacks in which he gave his victims ice pops to help hide the blood and bruises.

Dr. Earl Bradley, of Lewes, Delaware, faces 24 counts of rape, sexual assault and sexual exploitation in the non-jury trial before Judge William Carpenter in Sussex County, Delaware Superior Court.

He is accused of attacks on dozens of his patients, all but one of them girls, between 1998 and 2009.

The doctor made 86 videotapes of the attacks, using tiny hidden cameras, according to testimony by State Police Detective Scott Garland.

2. What a monster!
I feel sorry for the judge, who has to watch the videotapes before deciding on a verdict.

6. 471 charges, actually.
Edited on Wed Jun-08-11 06:43 AM by dixiegrrrrl
He was indicted a year ago.
Videos date back to 1998.

On edit, I cannot understand why he was even alone with these young children. I was always present with me kids in the dr's room. I thought that was SOP.

Delaware pediatrician Dr. Earl Bradley charged in 471 sex crimes against young patients.

7. One of the most sickening articles I've ever read.
'Bradley preferred nonverbal toddlers as his victims and that their average age was just over 3 years old.'

You think you've heard just about everything, and then.... aarrrgggghhhh!!!
