An Ottawa psychiatrist promised Monday to never return to his profession in the wake of allegations of bizarre sexual abuse that included the assault of a male patient with a toilet brush.
Dr. Juan Ernesto Tejeda Rosario, who also faces criminal charges, submitted a written resignation to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario at the start of his disciplinary hearing in Toronto. Tejeda, who did not appear in person before the disciplinary panel, signed an undertaking in which he agreed not to "apply or reapply for registration as a physician or for a licence to practice medicine in Ontario or in any other jurisdiction."
In exchange, the college agreed not to proceed with its disciplinary review on allegations that Tejeda engaged in sexual impropriety with a patient, sexual abuse of a patient and behaviour that "would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional."
The college reserved the right to proceed with disciplinary action if Tejeda breaches the agreement.
The 63-year-old was also charged January 31 with six criminal counts of sexual assault against two male patients for acts allegedly committed over the last decade.
Tejeda has not admitted to the allegations filed against him by the college and the criminal allegations have not been proven in court. He is scheduled to appear in an Ottawa court on April 5.
Tejeda was suspended in January and his resignation is considered to be effective immediately.
Allegations contained in a notice of hearing filed by the college in December say that Tejeda engaged in sexual acts with a patient both inside and outside the clinical setting between 1989 and 2005.
It states he had oral and anal sex with one patient, had the man masturbate in his presence and instructed the patient to masturbate him.
When the nature of their relationship was disclosed to officials at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, Tejeda allegedly assisted the patient in retracting his statements.
The notice also alleges Tejeda paid his patient's girlfriend $3,000 to keep quiet about the relationship.
It's alleged Tejeda started a second inappropriate relationship with a patient in 1991 that began with questions about the man's sexual likes and dislikes and escalated to anal and oral sex at the office.
The notice of hearing alleges Tejeda often gave the patient money and that he engaged in sexual fantasies in which he discussed roughing up the patient.
