STAFF REPORT
An Eastern Shore Rural Health nurse practitioner arrested on Tuesday shared explicit genitalia descriptions of male adult and child patients he saw at the Onley Community Health Center, where he was employed, charging documents show.
Lucas Allen Fussell, 42, of 25527 Coastal Blvd., was arrested in a morning raid by the FBI and charged with distribution of child pornography.
While it is unknown whether pornographic images Fussell allegedly shared included his patients, documents reveal Fussell shared detailed descriptions of his patients in an encrypted messaging device.
Fussell, who joined Rural Health in 2012, works at the Onley Community Health Center, where he is listed as a nurse practitioner clinical director and family nurse practitioner, according to a short biography on the Rural Health corporate website.
A criminal complaint and arrest warrant filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which was obtained by the Eastern Shore Post, shows Fussell allegedly:
Admitted to having a sexual relationship with a man who was a patient while also seeing the man’s wife as a patient.
Described in coarse, graphic detail the genitalia of a male patient who became erect while getting a genital exam.
Described the genitalia of a father and sons he saw as patients, saying the erection of an 11-year-old was “so hot.”
Spoke to the length he took to avoid online detection, including a virtual private network router that conceals content and location.
Amy Bull, Rural Health’s communications director, has not responded to a request for comment from the Eastern Shore Post.
