Paedo most cancers physician who abused 18 baby sufferers is quietly launched from jail
A paedophile doctor who abused young cancer patients has been released from jail, the Daily Star can exclusively reveal.
Sicko Myles Bradbury, 41, who judges described as one “of the worst paedophiles the country has ever seen”, abused 18 gravely ill children who were in his care at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge between 2009 and 2013. The vile monster was sentenced to 22 years behind bars for his heinous crimes.
However, the depraved paedo was released last year after serving just a fraction of his sentence. The children’s doctor who abused 18 boys – some of whom were sick with cancer – served just 10 years of his sentence before being allowed to leave a free man.
The move has been met with fury by a victim’s charity, which said said “no time would be enough” for a monster like Bradbury.
A spokesman for Safer Support Now, a victim charity in East Sussex, said: “Our thoughts are with the victims and their families who will no doubt find this news hard. There is an argument that no time would be enough for crimes as heinous as these.
“Myles Bradbury was in a position of power and abused that trust in the most awful way.” It remains a sickening case and we send love to all the victims involved.”
Horror evidence heard in his trial how he abused some child patients behind hospital curtains while their unaware parents were still in the room, and used a spy pen to film them getting undressed. All of his victims suffered from leukaemia, haemophilia or other serious conditions. Some have since died.
He was described by the trial judge at Cambridge Crown Court as one of the worst paedophiles he had ever seen at the time, and now he is living a normal life outside of prison walls.
The Daily Star can reveal he was made a free man at the end of 2025, after the parole board recommended he be allowed to live out in the open. Bradbury is now believed to be living under a different name, Daniel, as a free man on license.
The Ministry of Justice confirmed he’d been released, but added: “This crime was horrific and our thoughts remain with the victims.”
Bradbury, who worked as a consultant haematologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, used his position of power to get his hands on vulnerable children battling the most horrible of illnesses.
Speaking upon sentencing, Lady Justice Hallett said: “As far as the impact of the appellant’s offending is concerned, it has been exceptionally widespread. The impact on the children and their parents has been devastating. Many parents blame themselves for not knowing what was going on and/or trusting the appellant.”
Some parents had seen “a significant change in the personality of their child” while others had suffered from clinical depression, nightmares, stress, feelings of anger and shame, and had required counselling and therapy.
The judge said: “Not surprisingly, some find they cannot trust doctors any more and have not sought medical attention when they should. More than one has suffered severe psychological harm.”
She said that parents of children who had died and were trying to come to terms with their loss had been caused the worry of wondering if their child had been a victim. The judge described Bradbury’s offending as “wicked”, said the court agreed with the sentencing judge that “a total figure of 22 years was appropriate”.
But she said they believed that a “better way both to punish the appellant and protect the public” was to “restructure the sentence”. His sentence was cut to a custodial element of 16 years with an additional six years on licence.
Bradbury pleaded guilty to more than 20 offences, including sexual assault and voyeurism.
He also admitted possessing more than 16,000 indecent images, involving boys aged between 10 and 16.
