Former hospital worker accused of sexually abusing minors
From NBC12 News Tuesday, January 18, 2005
A Chesterfield man is accused of sexually abusing teenage boys at a veterans hospital where he worked, under the pretense that they were participating in medical research.
According to a statement from US Attorney Paul McNulty, 50-year-old Theodore Hodson III is charged with nearly 50 counts, including sexual abuse, assault and practicing medicine without a license.
Authorities say Hodson was a bone density technician at the McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond. According to court documents, Hodson is accused of luring boys to the hospital last year by pretending he was conducting medical research.
Authorities say Hodson engaged in sexual acts with minors at the hospital and performed several inappropriate tests on the children, including nude body scans.
The case is being investigated by state and federal agencies.

But i will say this, security is horrible there at night.
i have on MANY occasions had to come into work late at night... you have to come in through the ER... man, i will walk through the ER, past the Security Screening room, past the ER desk, all the way down these long halls to get to the elevator/stairs, all the way up to my 5th floor office... go down to the 3rd to get something to the vending machines... back up to the 5th floor office and then when i am done, go back down... through the halls again, back past the security screening room, and the ER desk.... and NEVER SEE NOT ONE PERSON... not even behind the ER desk, and not even in the Security Screening Room...
Even if someone did see him (which i'm sure a few people have), people don't pay attention, they probably assumed he was bringing his son into work; people often bring their children to work.
It's sick. and The Government is paying good money to keep it out of the papers... generally, something of this nature would be on CNN.
