A Seattle, United States of America based Nigerian-born gynecologist, Dr. Charles Momah was on November 4 charged to court on allegations that he raped former patients, sexually assaulted them with examination tools and performed unnecessary surgeries to collect insurance money. However, the case which was to come up last Friday,           November 11 did not hold.
Momah 49, operated clinics in Federal Way and Burien before his medical license was revoked in 2003, following allegations of sexual abuse spanning 2002 and 2003 by his former patients.

He has been formally charged with seven felonies: one count each of second- and third-degree rape, two counts of indecent liberties and three counts of insurance fraud.

He is being tried at the King County Superior Court before Judge Michael Trickey’s courtroom, with a maximum of 23 years Imprisonment if convicted on all the charges.
The allegations in the charge paper alleged that Momah performed gynecological exams without wearing gloves, sexually touched patients, probed them unnecessarily with a vaginal ultrasound wand, flirted with patients inappropriately, prescribed addictive painkillers for no valid medical reason, pressured patients into surgeries and double-billed insurance companies for procedures.

Momah allegedly told one woman, a fertility patient that he could heal her problem “in his own way”, which included injecting her with an analgesic to relax her and then, attempting to masturbate her with ungloved hands, squeezing her breasts and asking her about favourite sexual positions and the size of her husband’s penis.
Aside the criminal prosecution, Momah is also facing some civil suits filed by dozens of his alleged victims.

Momah’s attorney has however said that the complaint against his client did not result in any charges because the statue of limitations had expired.

Twin brother of the accused, Dennis who was also alleged to have impersonated Charles and abused women at the clinic has filed a lawsuit against the King County Journal newspaper.

Dennis Momah alleged that stories published in  September and October 2003 by the newspaper caused him to lose his employment.

The newspaper had published the allegation of the impersonation based on a lawsuit filed against him by the same attorney that dragged his brother to court.

Hmm, God save us from Atrocious Docs!

Amen!

That is a bad ambassador of Nigeria. I'll continue to be a good ambassador.

These I assume are allegations and the doc in question has not been convicted yet of any misdemeanours. I take it on the above contributors to reassess their language as you might be liable to slander if this doc is found not guilty.

OMG! This is so sad.
So what's the latest scoop on this guy? Wz he acquitted or convicted?

I think he got a 20 year sentence.
What a disgrace to a noble profession

recently a male nurse (nigerian) was accused of molesting or assaulting a patient while administering her daily massage. Na wa oh.
