JUST IN: A family doctor was found with hidden cameras and thousands of child sex images at his homes in Mass., feds say, announcing the doctor's arrest.
A Massachusetts family doctor was arrested for allegedly recording and possessing child sex images, including on a hidden camera designed to look like a bracelet, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Dr. Bradford Ferrick, 32, was arrested Tuesday morning on a charge of possessing child pornography and was due to appear virtually in federal court in Boston, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for Massachusetts. About 80 devices were seized from Ferrick's homes in Winchester and Amherst, including hidden camera systems, last month, and thousands of images and videos showing suspected sexual images of children, prosecutors said. Alleged victims appear to be between 6 and 11.
"I can think of no greater fear as a parent or guardian than potential harm coming to your child. Today we allege that this doctor, who held a position of trust with access to children, maintained child sexual abuse material," U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said in a statement, noting that the investigation is ongoing.Ferrick is a family medicine resident at Baystate Franklin Family Medicine, according to prosecutors.
