Charges against O.C. surgeon and girlfriend accused of drugging, assaulting women to be dropped
Orange County Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer on Tuesday announced that he plans to drop all charges against a Newport Beach doctor and his girlfriend accused of drugging and sexually assaulting several women after a review of their case found no evidence they committed any crimes.
“The de novo review team unanimously agreed there is insufficient evidence to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt,” Spitzer said. Late last year, Spitzer asked the California attorney general’s office to consider taking over the case because of a perceived conflict of interest. State prosecutors declined.
“The need to be open to a complete reevaluation in this case was the result of deep concerns I had previously expressed publicly about how the case was exploited for reelection purposes by the former district attorney and his chief of staff,” Spitzer said in a statement in October 2019.Attorneys for Robicheaux have criticized prosecutors for exaggerating the number of videos collected as evidence that allegedly depicted victims of sexual assault in the case.
