From courierpostonline.com:
In December 2008, an investigation into alleged sex crimes by Lewes pediatrician Earl B. Bradley was blocked when a Sussex County Superior Court judge rejected the state’s attempt to raid the doctor’s office.
Dealt a setback, Delaware authorities never took further steps that could have stopped the suspected pedophile.
While the doctor continued to treat hundreds of children a week, police and prosecutors didn’t present the search warrant to another judge, or bolster it with new evidence. They didn’t seek an arrest warrant. They didn’t ask federal authorities for help. They didn’t report Bradley to the state medical board, which could have suspended or revoked his license.
Over the next 12 months, a stretch during which a state police spokesman said detectives “didn’t have anything to work with,” Bradley raped or sexually assaulted 47 young girls in the Disney-themed office and filmed the attacks, last month’s indictment said.
