Paedophile children’s doctor jailed for 22 years over abuse of boys in his care

A children’s doctor who abused 18 boys in his care has been jailed for 22 years after a judge described him as the worst paedophile he had ever seen.

Myles Bradbury, aged 41, from Herringswell, Suffolk, worked as a paediatric consultant haematologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge — where he carried out medical examinations on boys “purely for his own sexual gratification” — Cambridge Crown Court heard.

All of the victims suffered from leukaemia, haemophilia or other serious conditions. Some have since died.
