Former nurse practitioner charged with sexual crimes against children

DENVER — The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations are working to identify more potential victims of a former nurse practitioner charged with multiple counts of sexual crimes against children. 

The federal indictment alleges Bradley Reger, 68, abused more than a dozen victims between ages 12 and 18 under the guise of conducting medical examinations at his nursing clinic in Susanville, California and in hotel rooms and campsites all over the world, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a release.

Reger was a licensed nurse practitioner with the California Board of Registered Nursing from 2003 until Oct. 18, 2023, when the Board of Registered Nursing revoked his license, the release said.

Court documents allege Reger targeted boys, according to the release. Many of his alleged victims attended religious-affiliated schools, institutions, trips, camps or clinics. The FBI said there are victims in Colorado, and there could be more victims that they don’t know about. 

Charges include transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and coercion and entitlement, the release said.

Anyone who might have been victimized by Reger, has a child who was a victim or has any information is asked to complete this form. Victims who are identified might be eligible for services and restitution.
