"Prosecutor Ashlee Mastrangelo accused Todd of preying on 22 patients - all women - between 2017 and 2023. Todd, she alleged, conducted improper and often invasive exams under the guise of breast cancer screenings or 'general women's wellness.'"
"Mastrangelo charged, 'He used their joint pain and chronic illness as a reason to do pelvic floor therapy or pelvic massage.' She emphasized that Todd's actions did not resemble standard women's wellness exams."
"Some of the women reported that Todd walked away visibly aroused after conducting breast exams with his eyes closed and while breathing heavily. He would text patients at night and on weekends, often failing to note breast and pelvic exams in their medical records."
Dr. Derrick Todd, a former physician, has been charged with 81 counts of sexual assault involving nearly two dozen women. Prosecutors allege he performed unnecessary breast and pelvic exams under false pretenses, claiming they were for cancer screenings or wellness checks. Todd is accused of manipulating vulnerable patients, making crude sexual remarks during examinations, and failing to document these procedures. He has been released on bail with GPS monitoring while facing previous charges of rape and indecent assault from his practice at Charles River Medical Associates.
