Psychiatrist Faces Sex Charges

A Report from Channel 12 in Cincinatti, Ohio

A local psychiatrist faces allegations he had improper sexual relations with underage patients.

A Hamilton County Grand Jury today indicted Leo Dsouza on four counts of gross sexual imposition. Prosecutors say all four victims were minors. The alleged incidents happened between 2001 and October of 2005.

Dsouza is the subject of two civil lawsuits, both filed in 2006. Each claims he inappropriately touched minor male patients under his care. One patient was 12 years old at the time... that case is set to go to trial in March. In the other lawsuit, Dsouza is accused of ordering an 8 year old boy to undress so he could be examined for sexually transmitted diseases. That lawsuit is set to go the trial in April.
