Bogus SF Doctor Facing Sex Charges
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A man accused of posing as a San Francisco doctor to perform cosmetic surgery on a woman now faces new allegations that he touched another patient inappropriately during an exam.
Police say 49-year-old Carlos Guzmangarza ran the Derma Clinic in the city's Mission District, using the stolen identity of a physician's assistant. He allegedly performed a liposuction procedure in 2010 after which the patient developed a severe infection.
Guzmangarza pleaded not guilty last week to practicing medicine without a license, assault, false impersonation and other charges.
A second alleged victim has since come forward, telling police that he made sexual remarks and touched her inappropriately while treating her for a skin condition in July.
Police said Wednesday that Guzmangarza has been booked on new charges including sexual battery.
