This is just sick!!
Dr. Bernard Zacharia Albina, 69, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, continuous sexual abuse and two counts of promotion of child *advertiser censored*.
Albina is accused of sexually abusing a young male for more than a decade, and investigators say he wasnt the doctors only victim.
Albina was arrested Tuesday morning at his Piney Point home.
Investigators began looking into the case in 2007 when a young man contacted them.
Police say a 24-year-old man came forward to say Dr. Albina started sexually assaulting him when he was 6 years old, and that the sex continued into adulthood.
A member of his family was paid to let him be with Albina and the money was paid to keep him quiet, said Roscoe.
It turns out, the surgeon was generous with many charitable groups, but was also generous with his victims. A copy of Albinas probable cause charge alleges that the doctor paid more than $250,000 to families to gain access to their children.
In addition, investigators say Dr. Albina purchased at least two other homes, allowing his victims and their families to live there free of charge. In one case, they lived in one of the homes for up to 10 years.
Police searched several properties and seized financial records, 14 mini DVD tapes, 138 CD/DVDs and multiple pornographic images.
Not all pedophiles have 82 binders with notebook pages where theyve cut out research, news articles, rapes, murders and brutal deaths, said Roscoe.
In addition to raiding his home, HPD also raided a storage unit on Westpark, a false office front on Crawford Street, where Albina allegedly brought boys, and the orthopedic surgeons practice on St. Joseph Parkway.
Police say that there are two other victims, who are now teenagers, and another victim, who is now an adult. They cannot locate the adult victim.
