Physician’s Assistant Charged With Child Molestation
FBI agents arrested a San Diego man accused of taking pictures and video with young naked girls.
He worked as a physician’s assistant at the Naval Medical Center in Balboa Park
“It’s tragic, repulsive, and I think would make most people sick to their stomach,” FBI Spokesperson April Langwell said.
Federal agents say 38-year-old Brandon Schroth is seen in digital files touching minors.
“They’re staged on a mattress in a bed. There were video depictions of him in a bathtub naked with two pre-pubescent girls,” Langwell said. “Very young 8 to 9 year-old girls. There is no doubt they are engaging in child pornography.”
Schroth worked as a physician’s assistant at the Naval Medical Center in Balboa Park.
Rica Kennedy lived next door to Schroth for a year and a half, until he moved out of the Mission Valley apartment last month.
“I was shocked because he’s in the military and I think he works at the hospital. I hope he’s not…I’m just shocked,” Kennedy said. “That’s scary. Especially here at this complex, there are a lot of kids here.”
Schroth is being charged with two counts of child sex exploitation. His detention hearing is set for March 8.
Leading Sexual Abuse Lawyer Seeking Justice For Victims Of Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse perpetrated by an authority figure is an appalling reality for far too many children and adolescents in California and across the country. Priests, physicians, ministers, church officials and workers, coaches, teachers, day care workers, park rangers, and other trusted adults who sexually molest children ruin lives and cause irreparable psychological damage.
The individual pedophile can be tried as a criminal, but can rarely be held financially accountable. His or her sponsoring or employing organization—the church, diocese, school, school district, or other public or corporate entity—may be liable for its failure to adequately supervise and screen the perpetrator.
