Ex-Bermuda PM's doctor son guilty of sex crimes

LOS ANGELES - The physician son of Bermuda's former premier has been convicted in Los Angeles on charges of committing sexual crimes against nine female patients under the guise of breast and pelvic exams.

The jury convicted Kevin Antario Brown of 21 counts Monday and deadlocked on eight other charges.

Brown had pleaded not guilty to counts ranging from sexual exploitation to forcible rape. Several counts were dismissed during trial.

Brown is the son of Ewart Brown, who stepped down as Bermuda's premier last year.

Prosecutors said Brown attacked 11 female patients over five years at three of his clinics and the women were given inappropriate breast or pelvic exams for unrelated complaints like lightheadedness or flulike symptoms.

The jury deadlocked on all counts involving two women and one count involving another woman.
