Montebello Doctor Accused of Sexual Assault

Montebello physician Arturo Vargas, 41 was charged with two counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object and sexual battery and a misdemeanor count of sexual exploitation by a physician. Dr. Vargas was arrested and released on $200,000 bail.

Montebello police started their investigation last summer after a woman reported being sexually abused by Vargas. A report was taken and forwarded to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office where the case was filed and an arrest warrant went out.
