Children’s cancer doctor Myles Bradbury has been handed a 22-year prison sentence on Monday, after admitting sexually abusing child cancer patients under his care.
Cambridgeshire Police member, Detective Superintendent Gary Ridgway has told that the British cancer specialist, 41, from Herringswell, Suffolk, who worked as a paediatric consultant haematologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, carried out examinations on children “purely for his own sexual gratification”.
His 18 victims belonged to the age group between 10 and 16, included children with haemophilia, leukaemia and other serious illnesses. Some of the victimised children were gravely sick at the time and have since died from their illnesses.
Bradury had also admitted of possessing more than 16,000 indecent images by a spy camera hidden inside a pen to record his child patients undressing, following raids on his clinic.
The offences were carried out over four and a half years between 2009 and 2013.
The blood cancer specialist was arrested in December 2013, after Canadian authorities alerted Britain’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) in July 2012 that he had bought a DVD containing indecent images of children.
The shocking revelations also uncovered that Bradbury abused some patients behind a curtain inside his clinic while their parents were in the room.
During the court hearing, the judge has described his criminal acts as “one of the worst forms of sexual abuse imaginable” while telling him that his offenses were a “gross and grotesque breach of trust”.
Giving the sentence, Judge Gareth Hawkesworth at Cambridge Crown Court has said, “In many years’ experience on the bench, I have never come across a more culpable or grave course of sexual criminality.”
Judge Hawkesworth has also quoted that Bradbury’s actions amounted to a “prolonged, carefully planned, cruel and persistent campaign of abuse”.
The judge has said Bradbury had likely caused his victims “considerable psychological harm […] which I suspect will linger with them for the rest of their lives”.
