SAN DIEGO A convicted child molester and former respiratory therapist at Rady Children's Hospital who preyed on disabled young patients was sentenced Wednesday to 45 years and eight months in prison.
Wayne Albert Bleyle, 56, of Santee was ordered to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence before he is eligible for parole, which means he will almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Kenneth So also noted that Bleyle will be required to pay restitution to his victims in an amount to be determined later.
In what was prosecutors called one of the worst child molestation cases imaginable, Bleyle pleaded guilty June 12 to 13 charges including committing forcible lewd acts on five children under his care, and exhibiting a minor in pornography.
Prosecutors say Bleyle deliberately targeted seriously ill children because they were so disabled they couldn't tell anyone what happened. Two of his victims have since died.The mother of one of the deceased victims said in court Wednesday that Bleyle took advantage of the trust placed on him by the patients, their parents and the staff. His actions, the woman said, have brought immeasurable pain to her family.
It doesn't matter what you say and how many years you spend in jail, it's not going to be enough, the woman said in court.
I don't think you have a soul, she continued. You're just an empty human shell.
Several other parents whose children were treated by Bleyle at the convalescent hospital, but were not named victims in this case, told the judge they will never know for sure whether their children were molested. Nevertheless, they said they still felt violated and betrayed.
Defense lawyer Casey Donovan told the parents in court that their children's names never came up during the investigation. He said Bleyle wanted to apologize to those he did victimize and their families and that he felt a great deal of guilt over what he had done.
Donovan noted that Bleyle had been molested when he was 12 years old and later developed an addiction to child pornography.
There's no excuse for his activity and his actions, Donovan said. I think it's important to know that he has tremendous guilt.
Bleyle showed little reaction during the hearing.
He was arrested March 8, 2006 after investigators with the San Diego Internet Crimes against Children Task Force discovered he was collecting and sharing child pornography online.
A search of his home uncovered evidence that he was molesting children, including photographs of him in the act.
Serge Duarte, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement deputy specialagent assigned to the task force said Bleyle told investigators he had molested so many children over the years that he had lost count.
Bleyle worked at the hospital for 26 years, the last 10 at the convalescent center where the staff cared for seriously ill patients. He was fired after he was arrested March 8.
