Doctor Accused of Rape with Disabled Patient | Cincinnati News

A doctor in Clermont County, Michael Rousseau, is facing serious charges after admitting to assaulting a disabled patient — including exposing himself and engaging in sexual acts — during a private encounter on April 24th. The State Medical Board launched an investigation, and Rousseau confessed to the abuse during a July 30th interview, even telling the victim, “This has to stay between you and me.” The victim confirmed the assault in a follow-up interview. Now charged with rape and sexual battery, Rousseau is jailed on a $1 million bond and returns to court August 14th — a case that underscores the devastating betrayal of trust when medical professionals abuse their power over vulnerable patients.
