Akron, OH asked in Criminal Law, Health Care Law, Medical Malpractice and Sexual Harassment for Ohio

Q: My former PCP has committed purjury to the OH Med Brd. I mailed the info to the Med Board. Will it be looked into?

I am an adult male victim of sex misconduct at the hands of my former PCP. Last yr his license was suspended for 6 months followed by 2 yrs of probation. Thru therapy I know know I did nothing wrong and was the victim of a sex crime several times over. The dr lied to the med brd on at least 10 occasions and i have documents to showed he lied and have sent it to the med brd. Will they really investigate this new evidence and what may the punishment be? Do you think this is a crime that the local prosecutor would look into?

A: You should take your information to the police and prosecutor. Sex crimes are treated very seriously, but the medical board can only take his license.
