GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in Alabama want to find
out if a pediatrician who is accused of raping a teenage patient
had prior problems in Illinois, Connecticut and Tennessee, where he
previously worked.
Dr. Michael Roy Sharpe remained held on $1 million bond in the
Marshall County Jail Friday.
Heath Thomas of the Marshall County Sheriff's Department said
the victim is a 15-year-old girl who was a patient at Sharpe's
Child Life Pediatrics practice in Albertville.
Thomas said the 63-year-old Sharpe is charged with three counts
of second-degree rape, second-degree sodomy and possession of
pornography.
He said the alleged rapes occurred on three occasions beginning
when the patient was 14.
Police are asking any possible victims in other states where he
worked to come forward.

How does your doctor RAPE YOU THREE TIMES before you tell someone?

Why would you ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE LEFT ALONE WITH YOUR RAPIST ON TWO MORE OCCASIONS??

This story has made NO SENSE since the beginning!
