ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY PEDIATRIC SPECIALIST DR. REGINALD ARCHIBALD SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN FOR YEARS IN HIS EXAMINATION ROOM
Dr. Reginald Archibald, working for Rockefeller University, held himself out as a renowned expert in pediatric endocrinology. Parents throughout the United States brought their children to him for specialized treatment for decades from the late 1940s through the early 1980s. As a physician and professor at Rockefeller University Hospital, he told parents that he could help children who might have growth issues by examining and treating them. Using his "expertise" in childhood growth and his position as a doctor at a prestigious medical center, young boys and teenagers – many of whom dreamed of being taller – were brought by their parents into Dr. Archibald's examining room.
Once in the examining room, however, Dr. Archibald engaged in horrific behavior, telling the children who were in his care that he needed to touch them in their private parts, insisting to boys that he needed to make them "bigger" to "measure" them. The children had no idea what he was doing or that this should not be happening – after all he was their doctor. And as children, they did not have the words or ability to process any of this. He made it part of the treatment and insisted with his authority – and the trust that their parents had placed in him – that this was expected. Then he engaged in sexual abuse in a variety of forms, from masturbating them and/or attempting to arouse them, to taking photographs and other egregious behavior.
Rockefeller University issued two statements about the abuse, one on October 5 and another on October 18:

Shockingly, in the first statement, Rockefeller University admitted that it learned about Dr. Archibald’s systemic abuse of its young and vulnerable patients in 2004 but waited 14 years to begin to contact survivors. And when Rockefeller University finally started to contact survivors in October 2018, it only acknowledged that “some” of Dr. Archibald’s “behaviors” were “inappropriate.” Nor has Rockefeller University provided information to survivors about whether their medical files contain photographs that may constitute CHILD PORNOGRAPHY or whether it may have knowledge of such photographs existing elsewhere.

Summary:
"The Rockefeller University ("Rockefeller") A New York Not-For-Profit Corporation"
"We call upon your office to launch a thorough investigation into Archibald's misconduct, whether Rockefeller was aware of and concealed it, the manner in which Rockefeller addressed reports it received from victims about the abuse over the years, and the extent to which Rockefeller has knowledge of the existence and whereabouts of photographs of our clients and other victims that may constitute child pornography under federal and state law"

** UES Hospital Must Return Photos Of Sex Abuse Victims: Lawyers **
A doctor at Rockefeller University took photos of the children he abused for years. Victims are worried the images are unaccounted for.
UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Sex abuse victims of a long-time Rockefeller University doctor who was hailed as a "miracle worker" stood in front of the Upper East Side institution Tuesday with their lawyers to demand the hospital turn over any medical records that may contain nude images taken of victims under the guise of medical research.
Rockefeller University Hospital admitted in October that the institution was aware that Dr. Reginald Archibald may have molested, raped and photographed children between the ages of 6 and 16 from the 1940s to the 1980s. In the wake of the admission, lawyers representing Archibald's victims are calling on the university to "do the right thing" and turn over any illicit photographs the doctor took of them.
"Those photographs have not been returned, and we have a number of the former patients — then children now adults — who have traveled across the country to formally demand that Rockefeller University either turn over the photographs, provide answers as to where the photographs are or to alternatively get the Attorney General of New York involved investigating where those photos are," Attorney Michael Pfau said Tuesday.
Gail Coleman, who was a victim of Archibald for four years, came to New York from Washington D.C. to say that she has been "haunted" her entire life by the existence of the images. Coleman has been trying to get the photographs from the hospital since 1993, but when she was sent her medical records she found no evidence of the images.
The discovery led Coleman to believe that the photos taken by Archibald were never intended for any medical or research.
"Dr. Archibald victimized me, but for as long as these pictures are unaccounted for and are out there in the world — every single day that i don't know anything about these pictures or where they are — I am being victimized," Coleman said. "This time by the university."
Should Rockefeller University be unable to locate the images, lawyers are hopeful that the New York Attorney General's office can investigate the whereabouts of the images.
"It doesn't matter if [the photos] were taken 10 years ago or two days ago. So whoever holds these images, whoever possess them — whether it's the institution or the individuals — they're liable for the possession of child pornography," Attorney James Marsh said. "The fact that we don't know what happened to tens of thousands of these images is very disturbing for our clients."
The hospital's statement did not include a description of Archibald's "inappropriate conduct," but victims claim that the doctor forced victims to undress, molested them, photographed them and in some cases raped victims.
Child Pornography. I don't think for one second they have been tossed. Someone has those photos and may still be distributing them. You bet they are

Trump signed another executive order that the victims of child pornography should be given money from the abuser. This would be huge for rockefellas. Thought the selling of family possessions after David Rockefella died was to hide assets.....same for selling off of family compound by Rothschildren in UK.

That certainly would be a first if they had to pay for Victim's Abuse. I haven't heard anything on the news about this report, but that's to be expected. I am sure they are trying to keep it hush hush. Yes I heard about the Trump order, actually on the news. That in itself is surprising.
