Psychiatrist Indicted On Sexual Assault Charges
July 14, 2008 10:20 am Abuse, News, Psychiatrist, sex offendersGWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A Lawrenceville psychiatrist was indicted Friday on charges he sexually assaulted more than a dozen of his female patients.
Dr. Mohammad Uzair Qureshi, 45, was indicted on charges that he sexually assaulted 14 patients who came to him for psychiatric care.
Known as “Dr. Q” to his patients, Qureshi worked at the Gwinnett-Rockdale-Newton Community Service Board. The investigation began in late September after a female patient went to police and said that Qureshi told her to pull up her shirt and fondled her during a consultation. After his arrest more women came forward with the same complaint.
Qureshi faces 16 counts of sexually assaulting 14 women. He could face up to three years in jail for each charge if convicted.
Qureshi could not be reached for comment. There is no word yet on when the trial will begin. Qureshi cannot practice in the state of Georgia because his license has been suspended pending the outcome of the case.

everybody knows why this has happened to a muslim man. it is so obvious he is mohammad and this had to happen with him as a punishment for being a muslim and specially having “MOHAMMAD” in his name. media, court and police all came after him like cayotes to show that a muslim person did that and wow look at all the invitation the police is giving to all the women out there to come forward and help them make it a huge issue. this is all a lie.

I fully agree with Mr Shah. There is no doubt that Dr Qureshi is suffering from the paranoa of the west against Islam & muslims.
It’s really unfair to call other women in the town for making further unreal allegations.
