ATLANTA (Georgia): An Atlanta nurse anaesthetist has been charged with molesting and sodomising anaesthetised patients in dental and medical surgeries. Police say the videotaped abuses could involve 100 or more victims.

Paul Patrick Serdula, 47, who worked in dental and medical surgeries across metropolitan Atlanta, was arrested this week on child molestation and sodomy charges. The arrest came after authorities found several videos showing him fondling and groping people who were under anaesthesia at various surgeries, said Cobb County police officer Joe Hernandez. Those reviewing the videos say the assaults could go back years. - Sapa-AP
