Police are looking for potential victims after the indictment of a Tucson doctor on sex-crime charges involving several patients, authorities say.
Dr. Dung T. Nguyen, 65, of Grace Health and Healing Center at 7340 E. Speedway, was indicted late last month on multiple counts of sexual abuse and sexual assault, Tucson police said Tuesday in a news release.
The allegations involve six patients who claim Nguyen sexually abused and assaulted them multiple times over several years, KVOA first reported.
"Numerous female victims have come forward and reported to TPD several incidents that occurred during physical examinations by a particular doctor. The reports describe that the doctor engaged in inappropriate touching" and digital penetration, the news release said. "These incidents were reported to have occurred during medical exams for complaints not related to those areas of the body."
Detectives are seeking additional witnesses and possible victims, the release said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact TPD detectives at 520-589-8971 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tip line.
Nguyen was placed on leave by his employer, Arizona Community Physicians, CEO Jim Stelzer said in a statement to KVOA.
