2 central IN doctors can no
longer practice medicine,
but these two cases are very different.
The state of Indiana calls one plastic
surgeon a clear and present danger.
The other is an OBGYN facing
sexual assault allegations
from former patients tonight.
Or Rachel Krauss was at the meeting
of the state Medical Licensing Board,
where multiple accusers came
forward tonight to testify.
This is inexcusable and cannot
happen to one more person.
Inside the hearing room,
members of the Indiana Medical
Licensing Board listened to the
emotional testimony of women who say
their OB GYN Doctor William David
Moore sexually assaulted them and
took pictures they didn't consent to.
In the room, Doctor Moore sat quietly,
his attorney Ronald Mingus,
telling the board these
allegations aren't true.
He's retired.
And he is not planning to
treat patients out there,
but he is not going to,
he's not going to admit to
allegations that are untrue.
5 women came forward to testify
about what they say happened
to them inside his office.
The first victim told the board she
went to see Doctor Moore in April.
She says he touched her
inappropriately during her exam,
then told her she'd need pictures.
He mentioned if anyone ever sees these,
they won't know that they're you.
And so I found that very.
Perplexing and as I'm laying there.
He puts the speculum in and I
could hear a click of a shudder,
and so I immediately started to panic inside.
Tears filled her eyes as she explains she
soon told her therapist and her husband,
later filing a complaint with
the state attorney General's
office and Indiana State Police.
It was so confused.
Why would a physician take photographs
of my chin and old months later she
posted about her experience on Facebook.
Soon after, she began receiving messages
from women asking if it was Doctor Moore,
including victim 3.
After talking to investigators,
she learned there were photos in
her file she had no idea existed.
That was incredibly
shocking to see that photo.
So not only was it a photo
of my genital genitalia,
it was a photo of myself being
held apart by 1 gloved hand
and one ungloved hand.
That photo convincing her to share her story.
I have a 14 year old daughter and.
If this hadn't happened.
I might have taken her to him
when asked about these women's allegations,
Doctor Moore pleading the 5th.
Doctor Moore, you took
photographs of the genitals.
And breasts of women under
18 years old, correct?
I'm respectfully not going to
answer that question pursuant to my
right against self incrimination,
ISP told the board.
There's an ongoing criminal
investigation into Doctor Moore.
Today, these women and the Attorney
General's office asked the board to
suspend Doctor Moore's license. Aye.
Rachel's in studio with me tonight saying
that there's a second doctor that had
his license suspended tonight, too,
right? The Indiana Medical
Licensing Board also suspended
the license of Doctor Scott Mimms.
The AG's office told the board
he's responsible for the death
of a patient in November after
Mims performed liposuction.
Other complaints say more of
men's patients may have died
as a result of his care.
As a medical professional,
I also know that we have to be
accountable for all reactions,
so I completely understand that.
I just ask that you look at all the
information and not make any decisions
before we can get a full investigation
after the evidence today that
doctor specialized training,
he's failed to use licensed
anesthesiologist and other
providers to protect his patients,
and there's a general lack of oversight
of his facilities that make him
this clear and immediate danger.
So, Rachel, we know Indiana State Police
are actively investigating Doctor Moore.
Is that also the case with Doctor Mims?
Well, right now it's not actually clear.
ISP tells us it does not discuss the
subject of an active investigation
until an arrest is made or until
charges are filed. I know you'll continue
to follow it for us. Thanks, Rachel.
