Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden has launched a public website and investigation into why a pediatrician was allegedly allowed to sexually abuse more than 100 children over a decade.
"There were jokes among colleagues, who thought [the accused doctor
Earl] Bradley had an unusual practice with his carnival-like office
filled with toys and a merry-go-round," reports the Associated Press.
"...Despite the warnings, Delaware's medical board only recently
suspended Bradley's license — after he was arrested."
Colleagues of Bradley’s jokingly referred to him amongst themselves as a
pedophile, say media reports. Bradley’s sister, who was also his office
manager, says she told police of several complaints she received from
parents of the victims. She also claims she took the complaints to the
medical society, who denies they received them.
Through all the years, the accusations, the suspicions and complaints,
Bradley’s arrest finally came after a 2 year old girl told her mother
that he’d hurt her. Authorities report that some of the attacks were
videotaped.
Charged with more than 30 felonies, including rape, Bradley is being
held in lieu of a $2.9 million bond. His preliminary hearing takes
place on Thursday, January 14.
