Pediatrician Pleads Guilty - "Simply a man who loves boys."

The Intelligencer (Doylestown, PA) | February 7, 2003 | Laurie Mason

"Simply a man that loves to exploit boys!"

[Lancey Howard]

This story greeted me on the front page of this morning's paper. Imagine all the families who for 40 years or so took their children to see this sick animal.

This guy should tie a millstone around his neck and jump in the ocean.

Hartwright also sought out drug-addicted mothers and convinced them to relinquish custody of their boys to him. He took some of the children to Germany where, he told police, it's easier to have a romantic relationship with a boy.

We need to let Donald Rumsfeld know about another reason why Germany is not our ally. (along with being lumped into the Cuba, Libya category.) This article is so repulsive. Or, rather, the subject of the article is so repulsive. Totally gross.

[Happygal]

Sick! Sick! Sick!

This guy can't be rehabilitated, so he should be executed.

By the way, this is the way the link to the full story looks on the PhillyBurbs.com main page:

Doctor admits sexually molesting children
LAURIE MASON
Still defiant after entering his plea, the 63-year-old Morrisville ex-pediatrician insisted that he was simply "a man who loves boys."

I noticed that the word "simply" was not used in the full story, so I wanted to clarify where it came from since it is used in the title.

While looking over a sample of the photos found at Hartwright's home, the judge grimaced but didn't comment.

What is there that can possibly be said?

Except, "500 years in prison without possibility of parole."

[RAT Patrol]

Clearly, sexual desire is not always normal. This story should at least establish that fact.

"The legal definition, no," Hartwright said

Thanks Slick Willie.

Absolutely. Same mindset, no doubt.

[cynicom]

All just a misunderstanding. The good doctor is just another saint that is overworked, underpaid, by a society that lacks the ability to function and understand life at his level.

[AppyPappy]

Kill him.

[Registered]

Reminds of the Jesse Dirkhising story.

This guy should have a fair, 5 minute trial and then a prolonged, extended execution.

[cynicom]

Would anyone hazard a guess that after all those years, and all those children, that there was not one other medical practioner that was not aware of the doctors evil?????

[frodolives]

What! This monster gave a .22 to a 14 year old! AND let him SHOOT! Lock him up!

Actually, this guy might make a few friends his own age in the Greybar Hotel. Bet they like watersports, too.

[aristeides]

Haven't I read some place that pediatrics has the reputation of being a gay medical specialty?

[Dimensio]

"The legal definition, no," Hartwright said. "But my own definition, yes. My own definition (of pedophile) is a man who loves boys."

Funny, I thought that a pedophile was a person (either gender) who experienced sexual attraction to children (either gender, exclusive or inclusive). If he's sexually attracted to boys, then he sounds like a pedophile. I'm wondering to what 'legal definition' he refers by which he isn't a pedophile.

[cynicom]

Evertime there is an internation crackdown on this man/boy evil, the list usually contains the names of medical field people. Always they try to cover it, and no one ever was aware of what was going on.
