Dr. Johnnie Barto of Johnstown was sentenced Monday on dozens of counts, including aggravated indecent assault and child endangerment. Prosecutors say the 71-year-old spent decades abusing children in the exam room at his pediatric practice and at local hospitals. His wife, Linda Barto, was among them. She says he "spent his whole sinister life lying and sneaking around so he could carry on his abuse uninterrupted."Victims of a former Pennsylvania pediatrician have given statements before his sentencing in the sexual assault of 31 children, describing how he destroyed their lives, caused them to feel hopelessness and made them fear doctors.

He got away with with this for far to long. He lived a long free life. Hope he rots in prison and burns in HELL.

Note to all parents: A reputable Dr would NEVER be alone in a room with a child.

Great...now we get to feed, cloth and house this individual until he passed away, then provide him a plot of land to be buried in. How is that justice for all the assault victims? Large rock to small until he stops breathing

Seventy Nine years is not enough for this man.

Just sickening... Unfortunately, children can not be left alone even with so called trained professionals.

🤢😡🤢😡 just sickening and angering.

Still waiting

There are no words that can describe the disgust in me over this. I am concerned however at the fact that no one has said a word about parents being in the patient room with their children OBSERVING wtf is going on with their kids.

They're going to Eat this old man up and Spit him out in prison...

Sad..... He was probably rapped?

WTF!! Barto appeared before the [Pennsylvania Board of Medicine] nearly two decades ago on administrative charges that he molested two young girls. But regulators threw out the case and allowed him to keep practicing medicine.

Disgusting

And the system picks up the tab for a terminal disease he knew of and are bound to supply food housing and care

Hell is just not hot enough for him and people like him.........

GetARope

He should've gotten a seat in the chair...the electric chair.

Put him down... ain’t worth being on this earth! Send him to hell, where he deserves to be!

One more Trump voter off the streets.

I SAY .....OFF WITH HIS HEAD
