My doctor arrested for sexual assault!!

Whoa. Stop the presses, Nelly. "Beat[ing] the charges" has nothing to do with whether the crime was committed. If someone rapes a person, abuses a child, or animal, but the prosecution doesn't do its job- that means a not guilty charge is returned. That is a whole lot different than a innocent charge.

Imagine, heaven forbid, your wife was raped at gunpoint, and the prosecution failed to present a good enough case to a jury, and the jury had no choice but to find the defendant 'not guilty'. Are you going to tell your wife the crime didn't happen?

The stigma of the accusation exists in our culture for both the defendant AND the victim. Fair? Perhaps not. I don't believe the military is somehow hit harder with false charges than the rest of the population. If so, perhaps the military needs to beef up its code on 'false charges', or get better prosecutors.

For many crimes, the prosecutor is the immediate chain of command.

Why does the military have a rough time recruiting Drill Sergeants, even though that patch on your uniform means easier promotions later? Part of it has to do with the fact that it's tough duty, but another big piece of it is that one private can ruin a career.

Give it up-- I know many girls who get scared when they get pregnant do cry rape to protect themselves or they say it was rape but they won't ID the guy because they don't want trouble but we're talking about a doctor here ---There might be one woman in a thousand who would try that but any professional doctor will not be accused unless there was something definitely going on - no woman would put herself in that position with someone who has the means and support for a super defense.

This doctor sounds guilty as h*ll period.

You mean like no one would accuse the Duke University Lacrosse players because their families are largely well connected and wealthy?

Regardless of the due process of law Donna you have the absolute right to be concerned and upset about the whole thing.

Thank you Caseysmom!!

I guess I wasn't his type, cuz he was very professional and courteous with me, and I had been going to him for over 6 years.

Another woman said she was simply there for blood work. He told her to put on a gown (which she thought VERY odd) and came back into the exam room, unzipped his pants and touches her inappropriately. She told him to stop, ran out of the exam room and complained to his receptionist, who proceeded to tell her NOT to report it.

I also agree that it is the State's burden of proof to find him guilty. Like the Casey Anthony case...the state couldn't prove their case "beyond a reasonable doubt" that she was guilty, so they had to acquit. Doesn't mean she's not guilty.

One thing I always questioned was the way he handed out scripts for Vicodin, Somma and other narcotics, like they were candy and his exam room was ALWAYS packed. When I was having the problem with my knee for so long, he finally did send me for an x-ray (I refused to take that $hit, makes me sick and doesn't tell me WHAT is really going on). When I went in to find out the results, he asked me "what I needed". I told him absolutely nothing, that I'd rely on Aleve. Never even mentioned an MRI. That's when I took it upon myself to go to an orthopedic surgeon.

This is a lot bigger than even the cops thought.
