Charges of Indecent Assault and Battery Against Physician Dismissed Prior to Arraignment

The defendant is a medical doctor practicing in the greater Boston area. The prosecution alleged that on January 9, 2014 the a woman called the Boston Police complaining that she was sexually assaulted on a date by a local doctor. The police report stated that in the early evening on that date the complainant met the defendant at a coffee shop for planned brief date. The two grabbed a coffee and went for a walk. They ended up at the defendant’s home which was walking distance to the coffee shop. After a short visit the woman left. A few hours later she called the police department to report that she had been sexually assaulted by the defendant. The alleged assault consisted of a non-consensual touching of the breasts and buttocks. The police investigated by speaking with the complainant and the defendant. Charges of indecent assault and battery, a felony, were filed against the doctor. He subsequently hired Attorney Stephen Neyman. After over a year of investigation and consistent defense advocacy all charges against the defendant were dismissed, prior to arraignment.
