15 Patients Say L.A. Doctor Molested Them
37-Year-Old Physician Held On $4 Million Bail; Faces Variety Of Sex Charges

Interactive Sexual Assault Facts and statistics on sexual assault and rape, with victim resources.
Police have interviewed three of the new accusers and four others have come forward in recent days, Deputy District Attorney Ann Marie Wise said in court.
Wise said the high bail was requested because Dr. Kevin Antario Brown, 37, is considered a flight risk. His father is Bermuda Premier Ewart Brown.
Superior Court Commissioner Henry Hall postponed Brown's arraignment to Aug. 7.
A telephone message seeking comment was left for one of Brown's attorneys, Keith Bowman.
Brown was arrested July 8 and was initially charged with sexually molesting a female patient and a female undercover police officer who posed as a patient.
After six more alleged victims came forward, Brown was additionally charged with 19 more felony counts, including a lewd act on a 15-year-old child, rape, sexual battery by fraud and sexual exploitation.
The existing cases will eventually be consolidated. If convicted, Brown would face up to 27 years in state prison, the district attorney's office said.
Brown practices medicine at Crenshaw Expo Medical Center.

Don''''t get me started, as there is not enough time nor space to lament on the poor quality of care and/or doctors that we have been stuck with.

We are seeing more and more of this kind of stuff all the time..!
Just give him a rifle and send him to Iraq or Afghanistan. If he were to mess with one of their women he would be taken care of right away.
This is just Auful..

- This doctor is horrible. This is exactly why it is so very important to always make sure you are not alone during procedures but that a nurse is also in the room as well. You just can''t trust people these days. I pray that all the people affected by this awful man will find the peace they deserve by him being brought to justice.
