UPDATED:
Attorney General Beau Biden will be making a statement this afternoon about the Lewes pediatrician charged with raping 9 children, spokesman Jason Miller said.
Biden is expected to speak at a press conference at 12:30 this afternoon in Georgetown, and will discuss resources for victims, Miller said.
The man charged in the case, Dr. Earl B. Bradley, was scheduled to appear in Sussex County Superior Court this morning for a preliminary hearing — but that hearing has been postponed until next week, officials said.
Earl B. Bradley (formerly) of BayBees Pediatrics is supposed to go to court this morning. However, most likely the hearing will be continued, because he has not yet hired an attorney — or the attorney has not entered his appearance yet. I don’t think he will find an attorney, especially from Sussex County, who will take on this case. Not only because of how people will react, but Sussex County is small and there is a good chance that attorneys in Slower-Lower know one or more of the children that were patients at BayBees Pediatrics OR that they know the parents of those children OR that they represented a parent of a child that was a patient at BayBees. It would suck to be a public defender at this point. BUT, it would also suck to be any of the State police officers that were involved in investigating Bradley for the past year.
State police said he has been the focus of a yearlong criminal investigation stemming from numerous complaints of inappropriate touching of female patients.
HOWEVER, it appears there was not enough evidence? Because…
During the searches of the doctor’s office, police found a small computer data storage device that contained videos of multiple forced sexual acts with child patients — including intercourse, oral sex and fondling — according to court records. The videos were made between Aug. 7 and Dec. 13, police wrote. Several videos are described as showing the doctor, wearing his blue scrubs, yelling orders at babies and toddlers, some of whom are crying or trying to run away. In one video, Bradley has a “violently enraged” expression on his face, police wrote.
These incidents all happened while he was already under investigation. What really brought tears to my eyes was reading in the paper that:
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.”
If there is such thing as EVIL – he’s it.
