Judge to rule if ex-pediatrician raped patients

GEORGETOWN, Del. - June 8, 2011

Prosecutors presented their evidence against Earl Bradley in about four hours Tuesday. The defense presented no case and Bradley had earlier waived his right to a jury trial.

Witnesses painted the 58-year-old, gray-bearded man as a predator who covertly videotaped naked patients during exams and who raped young victims.

Judge William Carpenter Jr. did not indicate when he would deliver a verdict.

Prosecutors gave the judge hours of graphic video evidence to review, recorded by Bradley himself, documenting the abuse. The tapes show a total of 86 victims dating to 1998. All but one of them was a young girl, with an average age of three.
