GA Nurse Anesthetist Accused Of Abusing Patients

ATLANTA (AP) - Police say a metro Atlanta nurse anesthetist has been charged with molesting and sodomizing anesthetized patients in dental and medical offices, and they say the videotaped abuses could involve 100 or more victims.

Paul Patrick Serdula, who worked in dental and medical offices across metro Atlanta, was arrested Monday night on child molestation and sodomy charges. Cobb County police said they found videos showing “inappropriate criminal conduct” against people who were under anesthesia at various offices.

Cobb County Officer Joe Hernandez said there could be “upwards of 100 victims.“

The 47-year-old Serdula, who is being held at the Cobb County Jail without bond, was arrested Nov. 18 and was re-arrested on more charges less than a week later.
