We have had a couple of high profile cases here in Vermont. One was a surgeon who examined young girls with ortho problems (internally, after hours in his office) and after many weeks of trial, ended up having to give up his practice and license. He was given no jail time. What amazes me is WHY women (people in general) don't complain when it happens. I would pick my self up and leave the office if I thought someone was inappropriate. Maybe these doctors know who is a victim and who isn't. I remember when I was younger, an older Dr. I visited commented on my body..... and I never went back. I didn't file a complaint, but left the practice. He never touched me etc.

Sometimes there is the "pile on" effect that takes place too. Some people are interested in making a few extra bucks by filing false statements/complaints.

I am in no way suggesting that this guy is innocent. To the contrary. He is probably guilty, but until it is proven...... you know the drill.....

What I don't understand is why the doctors are often not charged with rape etc. they just lose their licenses. If it were just a layman, they'd be put in jail.

The medical field is a very protected society. They seldom rat on each other. Society in general puts physicians on a pedestal and let them get away with murder sometimes.

I hope they throw the book at this varmit.
