A cardiologist in Carolina Beach, North Carolina, is now facing additional charges for allegedly raping a 10-year-old child.
Damian Brezinski, 61, was originally arrested on May 3. At the time, he was charged with indecent liberties with a child and first-degree statutory sexual offense.
According to new reporting from WECT, a local television station based out of Wilmington, North Carolina, Brezinski has now been charged with nine additional counts, including the rape of a child by an adult offender and the solicitation of a child by computer.
Brezinski’s judge raised his bond from $1.5 million to $5 million after the new charges were announced. The judge also said Brezinski could face life in prison without parole if convicted.
WECT obtained copies of multiple search warrants related to the case, revealing new details. Those warrants allowed investigators to search Brezinski’s home, cars and even his private practice, Island Cardiology, for evidence.
