Doctor sued after allegedly sexually assaulting male patient

A doctor has been charged, and his license could be revoked after allegedly sexually assaulting a patient, the National Bureau of Investigation said.

A case of acts of lasciviousness was filed against the doctor, and the complaint was sent to the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to revoke his license, especially because he used his profession in crime, according to Jun Donggallo, director of the NBI-National Capital Region (NCR).

Based on the CCTV footage, it was past 4 in the morning when the doctor accompanied the 18-year-old patient to a room to be examined due to appendix pain.

But later, the patient suddenly ran from the room, still holding the attached dextrose. The suspect followed him.

It can be seen on CCTV that the doctor closes his zipper after chasing the patient.

In the victim’s account, the doctor allegedly undressed him and asked him to close his eyes for the examination. But he was surprised when the doctor allegedly sexually assaulted him.

The suspect denied the allegation and explained that the patient needed surgery.

The patient was later operated on, but another doctor attended.

The NBI-NCR summoned the doctor because of the complaint, but he did not come, said Donggallo.

The NBI encouraged other patients to report if they experienced abuse from the suspect.
