Dr. Earl Bradley, a Delaware doctor of children, has been indicted for molesting 103 kids.

News reports are saying this could be the worst child sexual abuse case in our nation’s history.

Bradley has been charged with 471 counts of felony sexual abuse on 103 of his patients over the last 10 years. According to the indictment, many of his victims were assaulted repeatedly, some on consecutive days. One girl was alleged to have been raped more than a dozen times over a period that lasted more than a year.

Attorney General Beau Biden said all the alleged victims were caught on more than 13 hours of video recordings. The recordings were seized from Bradley’s home and medical practice and dated back to 1998.

The pediatrician was finally arrested after a 2 year old girl told her mother that the doctor hurt her in December 2009, when he took her to a basement room of his office after an exam.

Prosecutors are urging other victims to come forward.

The office of this scumbag doctor of children was in the shore community of Lewes.
