Cancer Doctor Admits Sex Attacks On Children

A children's cancer doctor has admitted a series of sexual assaults on patients as young as 11 in his care.

Dr Myles Bradbury, who worked at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual assault and 13 counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child.

Appearing at Cambridge Crown Court, Bradbury also pleaded guilty to three counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, one count of voyeurism and two counts of making indecent images of a child.

Prosecutor John Farmer said the offences involved 18 victims and dated back to 2009.

Paediatric haematologist Bradbury was bailed and told he would have to sign the sex offenders register.

He pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one of sexual assault, which Judge Gareth Hawkesworth said would probably remain on file.

A sentencing date was not given but the judge said Bradbury could expect a "substantial" custodial sentence.

As he left court, Bradbury told reporters: "I'm so sorry."

He refused to answer further questions.

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police Police warned "there are likely to be more victims" of Bradbury.

A helpline can be called if parents, patients or former patients have any concerns, the spokesman said.

Detective Sergeant Shane Fasey said Bradbury had refused to co-operate with police during three interviews.

He said: "Bradbury's offences were an appalling breach of trust committed against vulnerable victims who had been placed in his care.

"The families believed the boys were in his safe hands but they were actually being abused by Bradbury, who carried out examinations purely for his own sexual gratification and with no medical justification whatsoever.

"I would like to praise the victims and their families who have shown the bravery to come forward and help bring Bradbury to account."

Dr Keith McNeil, chief executive of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Addenbrooke's, said: "I am so deeply sorry these incidents have happened and I am also deeply saddened, as a doctor, that one of my own profession has placed himself and his patients in this position.

"There is a very ancient and sacred trust that exists between a doctor and his patients and, quite frankly, it sickens me to think that trust has been breached."

:: Anyone with concerns can call the helpline set up by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust on 0800 389 8625.
