Episode #14002 - Hot Off The Presses: WTF
A Delaware pediatrician accused of molesting more than 100 of his patients was sentenced Friday to serve his lifetime in prison.
Earl Bradley, whose practice was in Lewes, was given the maximum sentence of 14 life terms, plus 164 years in prison without the possibility of parole, according to a statement from the office of state Attorney General Beau Biden.
He originally had faced 529 counts of rape, sexual exploitation of a child, unlawful sexual contact and other charges. In June, he was found guilty of 24 counts. The charges include first-degree rape, forcing girls to perform oral sex on him and filming dozens of children engaging in sex acts. Police officers and detectives, but none of the alleged victims, testified in June at a bench trial, which is held before a judge without a jury.
Bradley's attorneys did not call any witnesses, nor did they make closing arguments. The evidence against Bradley is based on video seized from his home and office, Biden has said. Public defenders in April challenged the scope of a search warrant used to acquire these tapes, but the judge ruled against them. According to the indictment, the abuse occurred between 1998 and 2009. All but one of the 103 victims were girls, some as young as 2 years old. Police arrested Bradley in December 2009.

It's times like these when I wish drawing and quartering was an acceptable form of capital punishment for certain types of offenses....

What's even sadder is I bet this mofukka didn't know that IF he got caught he'd have to die and come back just to serve time, did he?

"Lifetime" for him will be about a year, once the inmates find out what he did.

So this happened to CHILDREN, some under the age of 2, at a Dr's office visit?.. Where the fuck were the parents???? Don't they stay in the room with the Dr and child?? I don't understand what reason there would be that the parent(s) would have to leave the room. T_T My mama was trying to go in the room with me up until I was about 16 and even recently, I'm 23 damn years old, and my mama wouldn't leave the rooms for Dr's visits or even checkups for a surgery. She never left the damn room. There should be no reason a parent couldn't stay in the room with a CHILD. And exactly how long was the Dr left alone with the child for this bs to go on? I seriously am beginning to really hate people, and this is one reason why I am skeptical about having kids. With the sickos and weirdos around now I would catch a case if a mf even looked at my child wrong.
