The dentist is questioned a few days later by the authorities, but does not admit the facts, although he admits to having exceeded the professional limit, explains HLN. “I complimented her because she had a very thin stomach, he said. I asked her if I could touch him and she said yes. I added that she should be a model and kissed her on the cheek because it was her birthday soon. Maybe I didn’t behave properly. I’m ashamed of it too, but I certainly didn’t attack her“, he declares. But his speech contrasts with photos collected on his smartphone by investigators. We see photos of his patient’s bare stomach. The professional makes no comment on this.
The investigating judge receives the dentist just one day after his visit to the station. The man stands by his words, but is still suspected of sexual assault on a minor, which is an aggravating circumstance, as well as the fact that he is her doctor. As a result, the dentist is prohibited from contacting the victim and his family and is ordered to cease his activity immediately. However, he is not yet out of the woods; an in-depth investigation is still ongoing. Note that the professional is not his first victim. 25 years ago, he had already been convicted of sexual offenses against one of his patients, also a minor.
