A superseding indictment has been filed against Bradley Earl Reger, a former nurse practitioner from Susanville, with new charges that include transportation of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity, according to information released by the U.S. Attorney's Office. The grand jury's decision brings the case to a towering total of additional charges, firmly situating the gravity of the accusations against Reger.
As documented by the court filings, the 68-year-old Reger has allegedly perpetrated sexual abuse on more than a dozen victims, carrying out his crimes under the pretense of medical examinations in his nursing clinic and various non-clinical locations such as hotel rooms and camp sites across the globe and, Reger held his Californian license in nursing up until it was revoked on October 18, 2023 by the California Board of Registered Nursing. The serious allegations follow expansive investigations conducted by multiple agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations.
The severity of the charges against Reger raises the possibility of life imprisonment for the most severe charge and a penalty of $250,000 for each count alongside potential lifetime supervised release, yet, it's crucial to note that these charges are mere allegations with Reger's innocence maintained under the presumption of law until proven otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt. In the event of a conviction, the Federal Sentencing Guidelines will guide the court's discretion in determining the appropriate sentence based on a multitude of statutory factors.
The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations are currently in the process of identifying further victims that may have been impacted by Reger's actions, urging those with relevant information or who believe that they or their minors were victimized by him to step forward and complete a dedicated online victim form available at the FBI's website, according to the statement obtained by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
