DA: Prominent NYC ER doctor sexually assaulted more women
NEW YORK (AP) — A prominent former New York City emergency room doctor already charged with sexually assaulting two women in his care has been indicted on new charges that he sexually assaulted two other women he treated, prosecutors announced Thursday.
A hospital spokeswoman says Newman no longer works at Mount Sinai and records show his medical license was suspended in February amid a state medical board investigation.
Newman described himself as "an emergency room physician, an Army veteran who was deployed to a combat support hospital in Baghdad in 2005, and a biomedical researcher in the field of cardiac-arrest resuscitation" in a 2013 New York Times op-ed piece advocating stricter gun control.
