Hoefs faces seven counts of sexual battery for allegedly grabbing the breasts of two female patients during exams, committing assaults that involved removing gowns and exposing breasts.
District Attorney Todd Spitzer highlighted that sexual predators can be found across professions, condemning abuse of trust in medical settings where patients seek medical care.
Hoefs, a hepatologist affiliated with Hoag Hospital, University of California, Irvine, and Liver Specialty Center, is scheduled for an arraignment with potential maximum 10 years in prison upon conviction.
