BRONX, NY – A doctor with a New York practice has been arrested for alleged sodomy after a patient alleged the physician performed oral sex on him.

Dr Brian Shaw, 41, of Wilton, Connecticut has been charged with sodomy and sexual misconduct after a 49-year-old male patient said the doctor initiated sexual contact after examining the man’s genitals during a medical examination on December 9.

The patient, who was not identified, went to Shaw with a rash on his body. During the examination, he told police, Shaw handled and examined the man’s scrotum.

When the patient questioned if that was routine, Shaw allegedly replied: “Yeah, I’m looking for fatty tissue.”

The patient admitted to police that he became aroused, whereupon Shaw began performing oral sex on him. It was unclear when he reported the incident.

Shaw was acquitted of a similar crime in January 2002, said law-enforcement sources.

In that case, a 20-year-old man had claimed Shaw abused him during an examination at a Bronx-Lebanon Hospital clinic in Highbridge, reports the New York Post newspaper.
