FBI Exposes Decades of Worldwide Abuse by Arrested California Nurse Practitioner

A nurse practitioner in Susanville, California, named Bradley Earl Reger, has been arrested by the FBI on charges of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. Reger is suspected of sexually abusing more than a dozen boys and men over several decades, both in his medical clinic and during camping trips and church-affiliated missions around the world. He allegedly used his position as a teacher, camp counselor, wrestling coach, and church deacon to gain access to victims. Reger has been the subject of multiple investigations since 1986 but was not charged until now. The arrest came after a victim reported the abuse to a church official, leading to an internal investigation that identified numerous victims. The FBI, along with other agencies, conducted a joint investigation, revealing that Reger had traveled to multiple countries on over 200 occasions.
