A California gynecologist is facing three years behind bars for sexually assaulting a teenage girl during what he claimed was an exam, officials say.
Anthony Lee, 64, of Villa Park, Calif., pleaded guilty to felony charges of sexual battery by fraud, first-degree residential burglary for going into the victim’s home to sexually assault her and lewd acts on child, the Los Angeles Times reported.
He was ordered Friday to spend three years in prison and had his medical license taken away, the Orange County district attorney’s office said. He also is required to register as a sex offender, the newspaper said.
Lee, a friend of the 16-year-old girl’s relatives, arrived at her home in March 2006, saying he was visiting to advise the girl on birth control and give her a medical consultation.
He then went into the girl’s bedroom, where he fondled her breasts, kissed her, asked her to make sexual poses and digitally penetrated her, the Times said.
