A Rome doctor was arrested Thursday
on suspicion of sexually abusing women patients, judicial
sources said. The alleged abuse took place, police aid, during
sessions of ultrasound cavitation, a weight-loss procedure,
carried out in his private clinic in the Italian capital. The
doctor was also found in possession of kiddy porn and is under
investigation for luring minors, judicial sources said. He is
under house arrest. The probe began when one of the patients
complained about the doctor's "unorthodox" methods, sources
said. Police soon found other patients who said he had groped
them. The kiddy porn was found later in a search of the doctor's
home.
