Former ER doctor for VA receives 12 life terms in federal prison
SPOKANE, Wash. » A former emergency room doctor at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Spokane has been sentenced in federal court to 12 terms of life in prison for being a child molester.
Craig Morgenstern was sentenced Monday after two hours of testimony in which victimized boys and their parents urged the judge to show no leniency.
The Spokesman-Review (http://bit.ly/2aGeq3s) says the 47-year-old Morgenstern spent months and sometimes years grooming at least six boys, sedated them with prescription drugs and then filmed himself performing sex acts on them.
Morgenstern’s crimes spanned at least four states. They came to light only after a 13-year-old boy escaped his half-million-dollar home and ran screaming to a neighbor’s house in 2014.
U.S. District Court Judge William F. Nielsen handed down a sentence of 12 life terms.

Hopefully Big House Bubba will serve Justice.
Maybe they can have a ‘Chain Gang’ party on his butt!
Sick B@$?&”D!!!!!! He deserves the death penalty…… Sooner the better!!!! Why should the tax payer take care of him in prison, put our tax dollar towards something deserving!!!!
VILE ANIMAL!!! Show no mercy! Just wish this kind of sentence was more common with crimes like this.
And just how is his status as a VA doctor connected to his crimes??
access to drugs.
The story made no connection. Just an attention-getting headline.
And…What does his “half-million dollar home” have to do with anything. That price tag is not so uncommon anymore. Just an example of sensationalizing a story.
In Spokane a $500,000.00 house is a lot more spectacular than what we get here!
