Anaheim Gynecologist Convicted of Child Molestation
Dr. Anthony Lee, 64 of Villa Park, an exclusive Orange County neighborhood pleaded guilty to felony charges including sexual battery by fraud, first-degree residential burglary and lewd acts on a minor. Dr. Lee who had a medical practice in Anaheim was sentenced to three years in state prison and stripped of his California Medical License.
Dr. Lee, who was friends with the victim’s family visited the minor under the guise of prescribing birth control. When Dr. Lee arrived at the home, he went upstairs to the victim’s bedroom and told her that he needed to do an exam on her prior to prescribing birth control. Without any medical equipment or gloves, Dr. Lee digitally penetrated the victim, saying he needed to do so to check for infections. In addition, Dr. Lee kissed the girl, touched her breasts and manipulated her body into sexual positions telling her he was teaching her techniques men like.
Besides allegations of the victim who resides in Irvine, two other women came forward and reported Dr. Lee had sexually assaulted them in his Anaheim Office. The statute of limitations on those crimes has already passed and prosecutors cannot charge Dr. Lee for those crimes.
