Two more women have told police that a Lawrenceville psychiatrist charged with sexually fondling patients touched them inappropriately, police said Tuesday.
The women contacted police after hearing about the case Monday. They bring to five the number of complaints filed against Dr. Mohammed Uzair Qureshi, according to Capt. Greg Vaughn, spokesman for the Lawrenceville Police Department.
No additional charges have been filed against Qureshi, 45, of Lawrenceville, since he was charged Friday with sexual assault by a practitioner of psychotherapy against a patient. In that incident, a 43-year-old woman told police that Qureshi asked her to disrobe during a psychiatric session and touched her breasts.
Police are investigating the latest accusations, Vaughn said.
Qureshi was released Saturday from the Gwinnett County jail on $33,200 bond.
When contacted by the AJC on Monday, he said "these are totally false allegations.
Qureshi had been working at the Gwinnett-Rockdale-Newton Community Services Board. He was fired after the criminal charges were filed, according to David Will, the attorney for the community services board.
