A Carolina Beach cardiologist, Damian Alexander Brezinski, has been charged with several crimes concerning the sexual assault of a 10-year-old child over four years. He faces a total of 11 counts of sexual assault, including indecent liberties with a minor, statutory sex offenses with a child, and rape of a child. Initially, he was given a $1.5 million bond for the initial charges and a $5 million bond for the added charges.

However, on Monday, a judge reduced his bond from $6.5 million to $2 million. Brezinski will be allowed to see patients at his practice, but he is not permitted to be alone with a patient at any point or be in the presence of any minors. Additionally, he cannot have any contact with the child and must surrender his passport and wear an ankle monitor.

Prosecutors had expressed concerns about Brezinski fleeing the country since he often visits the British Virgin Islands to offer cardiovascular treatments and medical assistance to low-income residents. Furthermore, his internet search history included queries like “How to change your identity,” “How to change your fingerprints,” and “Do therapists have to report child sex crimes.”

The investigation began when the mother of the child confronted Brezinski, who admitted his behavior and called himself a “monster.” Prosecutors claim that he then offered to “take care of her financially for life” if she did not turn him in. During the investigation, Brezinski’s home and office were searched by the police.

In conclusion, Damian Alexander Brezinski, a Carolina Beach cardiologist, has been charged with multiple crimes concerning the sexual assault of a 10-year-old child, including indecent liberties with a minor, statutory sex offenses with a child, and rape of a child. Brezinski’s bond was reduced to $2 million, and he is facing restrictions while he awaits trial.
