The statistics don't include the untold number of sexual misconduct allegations that were never reported or accusations for which it's unclear whether any investigation actually took place.
So it starts slow. Some of these complaints are low level complaints that are signals of escalation that might happen later.Medical board leaders said current state law does not allow the board to disclose how many complaints it has received about a doctor.
The medical board eventually suspended Roy’s license in December 2012, after he was convicted of six sex crime charges — four felony counts of gross sexual imposition and two misdemeanor counts of sexual imposition. Roy denied any wrongdoing when reached by The Dispatch."I never did it. There was no proof, it was he-said, she-said …" Roy said."It is complete nonsense."
“But we certainly think that, specifically with respect to some of these sexual misconduct cases that can be very complicated, that if we have this credible indictment, that the board has the discretion to be able to take an automatic suspension of that license,” Loucka said.Medical board officials have described a “new day” at the agency in recent years and new approaches for best handling sexual misconduct allegations.
Creating a clear policy for when and how the board will notify law enforcement when it receives allegations about a licensee that are criminal in nature. also said the state has made some progress changing the medical board's historically passive culture in the last couple of years. That started with a working group that examined the state’s handling of the investigation of Dr. Richard Strauss and sexual misconduct allegations made against doctors dating back 25 years.
