Eight women claim they were sexual abused by a California psychiatrist

April 24, 2018

California psychiatrist Dr. Leon Fajerman is now accused of sexually abusing 8 women who claimed they were fondled, kissed, groped or subjected to similar sexual abuse, according to accusations by the California Medical Board.

NBC 7 Investigates broke this story last summer. At that time, three female patients filed complaints of inappropriate sexual behavior against Dr. Leon Fajerman. One former patient told NBC 7 Investigates Dr. Fajerman was inappropriate on three different occasions. 

An administrative law judge immediately suspended Dr. Fajerman's medical license last year, after the first credible complaint of sexual misconduct by a female patient.
