SAN DIEGO - Wayne Albert Bleyle confessed to molesting "countless" young, brain-damaged children under his care at the hospital where he worked for 25 years, prosecutors say.
On Tuesday, 15 months after his confession, the former respiratory therapist pleaded guilty to abusing four patients - a boy and three girls, including a 2-year-old toddler.
The plea leaves unanswered how many disabled children he preyed upon. Bleyle, 55, treated 176 patients during the 10 years of his career at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego.
Bleyle told investigators he could only remember the names of four children, prosecutors said, hampering efforts to identify more victims.
"We will never know how many victims there were in this case," said Deputy District Attorney Laura Gunn.
Bleyle was arrested after investigators found tens of thousands of pornographic images on his computer, including photographs he took of himself abusing his victims.
Some of them were comatose, and two of the four identified children have since died, according to Gunn.
Under a plea agreement, Bleyle admitted to eight counts of forcible lewd acts upon a child and four counts of exhibiting a minor in pornography - a dramatic reduction from the total 33 pornography counts originally charged.
Bleyle agreed to a sentence of 45 years and eight months, and was ordered by Superior Court Judge Kenneth K. So to serve at least 85 percent of the time in prison, even with credit for good behavior. He could have been sentenced up to 165 years if he had been convicted on all counts in a jury trial.
Prosecutors said they made a deal in part because they were anxious to spare one of Bleyle's victims. "He'll be 95 before he even sees a parole officer," Gunn said.
When So asked Bleyle, who has been jailed since his arrest how he pleaded, Bleyle replied, "Guilty, your honor."
And you’re still an idiot.
I’m not sure what sickens me more. The things this man did to those helpless children or the deal the prosecutor made with the devil. They should both have to share a cell with Bubba.
Banks keep cash under dual-control. I’ll do the same for defenseless children. There are too many porn addicts today to take the risk.
Maybe you should re-read the article.
I have a better idea. Place him in an old barn, nail his p@cker to the wooden floor with a large rusty nail, hand him a dull rusty knife, and then set the barn on fire. He has two choices.
Check out my post #65. No POS receives reward with that idea.
When you're a male nurse, are you going to be alone with naked women and children in the examining room?
I’ve been to many doctors, mostly men. Only one of them ever did anything sexually inappropriate. That one happened to be a woman. What kind of woman wants to spend her life looking at (and touching) other women’s bodies? Mostly professional women who want to heal, just like most of the men who choose to be doctors. There are some bad people in every profession, and not all of them are men. Not all men are bad. If I had researched that doctor, instead of just accepting the one I was assigned, I would have known about her reputation ahead of time, instead of hearing about it later from all the people who already knew. So don’t be so hard on others for getting to know their doctors before trusting them.
Except that's not what I said. Besides, I'm sure all the parents whose children were molested by the man in this article were sure they knew him.
Better idea. Put him in a large room and nailgun his legs to the floor. Set the room on fire and then hand him a hacksaw and then leave.
I’ll take that bet. This was at a hospital. How many of the children’s parents investigated this nurse?
I still like my idea from post #65!
The fact that he molested the children means the parents trusted him enough to give him the opportunity to do it.
I’m saying that was a mistake - don’t you think it was a mistake?
I seriously doubt I’ll be alone with any patient as I’m aiming for a Nurse Anesthetist position. Typically there are plenty of people in an OR.
I’ve seen all kinds of people naked. It is a professionalism thing, not a “turn-on” thing.
BTW, your post smeared a whole bunch of folks (SF “docs” a.k.a. Field Trauma Nurses) who do a tough job day in, day out. Somehow as men, they wouldn’t be as good at their duties? Did I read that correctly?
All I know is that those male nurses were there to keep me healthy and alive in and around Tikrit. I damn sure wouldn’t have wanted a female there if the sh!t hit the fan.
Men make EXCELLENT nurses, medics, Navy Hospital Corpsmen, You are slandering a whole bunch of good MEN. I invite you to check your facts and then you can apologize to the many men you have just insulted. One scumsucker does NOT represent all men in the healing professions. I’d work on my biases were I you.
Yeah, it's better to leave them with a female nurse so she can kill them ala Genene Jones. Not that I'm slamming women, I love women. I'm slamming your ignorant condemnation of male nurses. You're truly a moron.
Theres a big difference between being a medic and giving women bed-baths. Men should not do nursing duties.
If you won’t be alone in a room with naked people, why are you so angry with me for saying I don’t want it either?
I’m not risking a child with a male nurse no matter what you say. We used to have better sense.
She’s got a “girlfriend”...
