UK: Paediatrician may have abused up to 800 boys

Paedophile children's doctor Myles Bradbury,
who abused 18 sick boys in his care, was
sent to prison for 22 years yesterday

The families of gravely ill young boys molested by a hospital consultant last night accused police of failing to own up to appalling mistakes which allowed him to carry out his sick crimes.

Paedophile Myles Bradbury, 41, was jailed for 22 years for the ‘gross and grotesque’ abuse of 18 vulnerable children he was supposed to be caring for.

Bradbury exploited his job as a respected paediatrician to target boys – all of whom had cancer or blood disorders – and would abuse them behind screens, sometimes with their parents in the room.

He took 170,000 images of his victims using spy pens.
