Survivors of Psychiatrist William Ayres are looking for other victims

As first seen here:

The following note was posted to The Awareness Center's Daily Newsletter
From: jsomerville5@yahoo.com

Dr.William Ayres, a child psychiatrist in San Mateo, California is currently the subject of a criminal investigation because of allegations the he molested his young male patients.

A group of Ayres' survivors in California would like to hear from and connect with others who had similar experiences. We are particularly interested in anyone who was a patient from 1988 to 2005, which is within statute for a criminal prosecution. We do want to hear from any victim from any time period. We know of at least two survivors who are Jewish.

Dr. Ayres practiced in San Mateo from 1963 to December 2005. He also treated children in Boston at the Judge Baker Guidance Center from 1959-63.

Stories on Ayres have appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Jose Mercury News and the San Mateo County Times. Here is a story that appeared on the front page of the San Mateo County Times on April 26, 2005 (seen at the above link)

We need other survivors to come forward.

Anyone with information please E-mail : jsomerville5@yahoo.com


Stories on the police investigation have appeared on April 26,2006 in the San Jose Mercury News:"Police Seize Doctor's Files and the San Mateo County Times:"Police Probe Child Doctor."

Dr. Ayres, of course was arrested less than a year after this story appeared. Excellent blog on the ongoing case:
