Trainee family doctor, 32, is arrested 'after cops found huge trove of child porn and clips of him examining children he'd secretly recorded on a BRACELET' during search of his parents' $1.1m mansion

By CLAUDIA AORAHA, SENIOR REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 16:03 EDT, 15 March 2023 | UPDATED: 16:47 EDT, 15 March 2023


A trainee family doctor concealed a huge trove of child porn - and secretly recorded himself examining children using a camera hidden in a bracelet, police say.

Dr Bradford David Ferrick, 32, appeared at a Boston federal court on Tuesday and was ordered held without bail over the disturbing allegations.

Raids at his apartment in Amherst and at his parents' $1.1 million Winchester mansion are said to have turned up thousands of child porn images held on 60 electronic devices.

Ferrick is also accused of secretly recording medical examinations on children as young as six using a piece of jewelry that concealed a camera lens.

During one recording obtained by police, he was heard discussing a young male patient's genitals with the boy's mom, although they cannot be seen in the clip, it's alleged.

Since July, Ferrick had been completing a medical residency focused on family medicine with Baystate Franklin Family Medicine - which included rotations at facilities in Greenfield, Deerfield, and Springfield.

The child porn investigation started in January, when a Google account was flagged for uploading suspected illicit images of minors by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Two of the uploads, from November 2021 and March 2022, had occurred from an IP address close to where Ferrick was attending medical school at State University of New York Upstate Medical University in Syracuse.

More cyber tips then allegedly showed the illegal material being uploaded at an IP address linked to his family home. During the first search of the mansion on February 13 2023, Ferrick refused to speak with law enforcement officers.

Cops then seized 61 electronic devices - and as they were arresting the trainee doctor, Ferrick's father told investigators that the devices belonged to him.

Ferrick's workplace put him on unpaid administrative leave in February, after the allegations first came to light.

He was first charged with four state counts of child pornography possession - to which he pleaded not guilty - and then paid $50,000 cash bail and was released, with orders to remain at home.

But now, Ferrick has made an appearance at US District Court in Boston charged with a sole federal count of child porn possession. Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal ordered him to be held in custody until his next hearing on March 21.

As well as child porn, investigators are said to have found videos of the trainee doctor conducting medical exams - in which the child patients did not know they were being filmed, according to a FBI affidavit.

In one clip, Ferrick is heard speaking with a boy, believed to be 14, and his mother as they discussed the teen's genitals. The FBI said that the meetings were allegedly recorded on his bracelet, which was disguising a hidden camera.

During the federal investigation, authorities also searched a third property, owned by relatives of Ferrick - who have two young children.

They found a hidden camera in a bathroom, which was concealed to look like a wall outlet. Authorities claim they found the box that the camera came in at Ferrick's parents' house, where the trainee doctor lived.

According to the affidavit, which has now led to his detainment pending another hearing in March, Ferrick had purchased 'numerous hidden camera devices.'

Inside the seized external hard drives, cell phones, computers, and hidden cameras from the properties linked to Ferrick, authorities allege that they have found 'thousands of images and videos' showing child pornography.

Federal authorities have set up a page for people who believe their children may have been targeted by Ferrick. Chalonda James, a spokesperson for Baystate Health, said in a statement: 'We cannot comment on pending criminal charges.

'Ferrick has been on unpaid administrative leave from Baystate Franklin Medical Center since mid-February.

'We are cooperating with law enforcement authorities as they proceed with their investigation.'

Did the father mean to say the devices belonged to him as in his son, or him meaning himself?

Once again a poorly written article with the facts being unclear.

Nonetheless, the trainee doctor sounds like a sick son of a bitch. I can't even tell you how I would react knowing some sick asshole was secretly recording my child in that way.

Agreed. Trainee doctor sounds like a third grader.

Abuse of children is horrible and even more so when it is a trained professional.

By the time he leaves prison his medical license should be terminated and any opportunity to obtain a medical license in the future permanently barred.

Good point. I read it as Dad possibly trying to take the fall for the son.

It's a Daily Mail article. Maybe that's what the British call medical residents? And that's exactly what they are, trainee doctors. Nothing third grader about it.

The article quoted in the Original Post states specifically that he is (was?) a resident.

Yes, I think i had an aneurysm reading the article. Not from the content, though that didn’t help, but from the grammar.

He is done. Per the article, he was still in med school in March 2022. And then, he was doing his residency since July. So, that would be the first year (called internship). He almost certainly never had a full individual medical license. What he had was the umbrella institutional license that allows all the interns and residents under the one program to practice medicine. Glad this scumbag was caught early on in his career. If the investigations and charges stick, he will not have chance to do further harm as a doctor.

Not surprising given the backdrop of that doctor and the olympic female gymnasts.

It stands to reason that pedophiles will gravitate toward areas that put them within close proximity to their target victims, pedophiles want to be boy scout leaders or church youth group leaders.

But it boggles the mind that one would go through the rigors of medical training to satisfy one's perverse bent.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I will volunteer to do the castration of him and his dear old dad pro bono. We won't need to look for an anesthesiologist to volunteer. Unnecessary.
