This is from the same article. I hope they get their dates right:

"Slutsky said the investigation is focusing on cases between 1998 and the present."
"Hudson said Bradley had been in the area since 1994."
You're right, Texas Mist, the comments on this site:

sound like something out of a horror movie. These things are going to be imprinted in these children's minds. I honestly think that the over-the-top "toy thing", "Disney thing", "Princess thing" will be forever etched. It's far worse than if it had happened in some sterile environment. The children are going to be so confused, also, as their parents were seemingly (but unknowingly) giving permission for the Dr. to take them to these scary rooms.
If any parents of these poor victims read this, know that I do NOT blame you at all. It's just that a lot of work will need to be done in therapy to help the child understand how you were victimized too. Just snippets that really get me going:
"He carried my 2 year old son out of the room in only his diaper while my son cried. On every visit after that I saw him do that with other children."
"....the way he tried to take my daughter
into a black room with glow in the dark stickers, and shut the door, instead of taking care of my sick son who ended up in the e.r. 4 days later , he was to
consumed with stroking my daughter's hair and giving her gifts and kisses and walking her around to even see how sick my son was!"
".....
HE WOULD BOB HIS HEAD AND HIS HANNDS WOULD SHAKE ... I HAVE SEEN THAT ROOM AND HE CLOSED IN WITH A PATIENT MY MOTHER RECENTLY WENT THERE LAST WEEK ON THE 14TH SHE WAS WAITING TO GET MY BROTHER EXAMINED WHEN
SHE HEARD A LITTLE GIRL SCREAMING."
They need to open up the churches and town hall for prayer and fellowship tonight...and not just for Christmas. These victims' families need to be brought together. They need to be shown that they are not alone. And please don't forget the Dads. The fathers of victims have such a hard time. The Moms and female relatives will hold each other and cry. The Dads and older male relatives will stand there with a scowl on their face, head down, hands in their pockets, swallowing the urge to kill. My heart breaks for all of these people. I've stood in those shoes. It hurts so badly.
