Pediatrician arrested for sexually assaulting several young girls
A Virginia pediatrician has been arrested for sexually assaulting two young victims while practicing medicine.
Back in November 2020, the Prince William Police Department’s Special Victims Unit began an investigation into an allegation of sexual assault at the Potomac Pediatrics P.C. clinic.
The investigation was into reported sexual assaults that occurred between October 2014 and November 2020 by Leonard Lee Touchette.
Police said one of Touchette’s victims was a female who was a child between the ages of 11 and 17 at the time of the reported offenses.
The assaults occurred on more than one occasion, during that time period, police said.
Touchette has been charged with two counts of object sexual penetration.
