At least one woman reportedly filed a report around 1975, but Palo Alto police discouraged her from pursuing the complaint "because Levin was a respected physician."
In 1987, Levin was arrested on suspicion of felony child molestation, including charges that he inserted his finger in boys' rectums. His attorneys negotiated a plea bargain that reduced the charges to a single misdemeanor. He served a work-furlough sentence, and the medical board took no action.
1993 over at 20 alleged victims came forward with stories of sexual abuse by Levin that go back more than 20 years. Levin was also accused of possessing child pornography.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly
Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
