Los Angeles, January 1: Dr Babak Hajhosseini, a 42-year-old Los Angeles doctor, has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies, including sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at his West LA home. Hajhosseini, who worked with Wound and Burn Centers of America and Catalina Island Health, allegedly used his professional position to lure potential victims under the guise of overtime work opportunities with high hourly pay.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Hajhosseini invited a woman to his home and pressured her into consuming an alcoholic drink. After she fell unconscious, he allegedly raped her and recorded her. Prosecutors have charged him with multiple counts, including two counts of rape by use of drugs, one count of rape of an unconscious or asleep person, three counts of oral copulation of an unconscious or asleep person, and one count of sodomy of an unconscious or asleep person. France Shocker: Man Rapes Daughter For Years, Offers Her to Strangers For Sex; Sentenced to 20 Years in Jail.
