USA – A grand jury in Massachusetts has indicted a doctor who is accused of sexually assaulting more than 200 former patients over a period of more than a decade.
The patients sued Dr. Derrick Todd, who has been accused of performing unnecessary pelvic floor therapy, breast examinations, testicular examinations and other unwarranted procedures on patients dating back to 2010. The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said in a statement Thursday that Todd was indicted earlier that day for “two counts of rape alleging the sexual assault of two women.”
Todd pleaded not guilty during an arraignment on Friday in which he was held on $10,000 bail. He was also ordered to stay away from and have no contact with victims, surrender his passport, surrender all medical licenses, not practice medicine and not apply for new passports or licenses, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said.
