Physician Pleads Not Guilty To Sexual Abuse
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
A physician whose father is the leader of the Bermudan government has pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing patients.
Dr. Kevin Brown entered pleas to 23 felony counts at a hearing Thursday in Los Angeles.
He remains in custody after being arrested last month and charged with molesting patients, including an undercover police officer and a 15-year-old.
Brown is being held on $4 million bail. His next hearing is Sept. 4.
His father Ewart Brown was not present, but the defendant's wife was joined by a group of friends and relatives in court.
If convicted, Brown could face more than 25 years in prison.
