A prominent New York City emergency room doctor accused in January of se*xually abusing four female patients was indicted this week on five criminal counts, PEOPLE confirms.
An indictment was returned Thursday against Dr. David Newman, a 45-year-old physician and book author who has given TED Talks and blogged for The New York Times and Huffington Post. An Iraq war veteran, Newman was the director of clinical research in emergency medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.
Newman has since been fired, hospital officials confirm. Authorities initially arrested Newman in January after a woman claimed he had drugged, groped and masturbated on her, according to a criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE.
Newman has been indicted on one count of first-degree se*xual abuse and four counts of third-degree se*xual abuse, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement. His alleged crimes occurred between August 2015 and his January arrest.
