Former Pennsylvania paediatrician gets at least 79 year sentence for sexually assaulting 31 children, most of them his patients
A former Pennsylvania paediatrician was sentenced on Monday to at least 79 years in prison for sexually assaulting 31 children, most of them patients, as his now-adult victims blasted not only their abuser but the system that let him get away with it for so long.
Brosig and 18 other people gave victim impact statements Monday, both in person and through a prosecutor, describing their pain and hurt."He has been lying to me about everything for all of the 52 years I have known him. He spent his whole sinister life lying and sneaking around, so he could carry on his abuse uninterrupted," she said. She said her heart was heavy for the victims.
After the medical board cleared him, Barto felt "invincible," he later told authorities. And he continued molesting. Barto, now 71, went on to violate at least a dozen more young patients before his arrest in January 2018, according to the state attorney general's office. As Barto sat impassively just a few feet away, victims described in minute detail their assaults: what Barto was wearing ; what the room looked like ; what he did and how it made them feel.
