 David H. Newman is an emergency room doctor at New York City’s Mount Sinai Hospital and an Iraq War veteran. A criminal complaint cited by the New York Times, NBC and the New York Daily News accuses the doctor of drugging, groping and masturbating on a female patient as well as groping another in two separate incidents. “We take the nature of these allegations very seriously and continue to conduct our own extensive internal inquiry,” the statement said. We take this matter very seriously and are conducting our own internal investigation.”

 A second woman who went to Mount Sinai for medical help in September — four months before the alleged Jan. 11 incident surfaced this weekend with her own tale of sexual misconduct by the Montclair, N.J., doctor. And so to hear something like that is very scary, ’cause it’s like how many other women has this happened to?” 
 
 Police say a second alleged victim has come forward — another 22-year-old woman who claims she was seeking treatment for a cold when Newman allegedly groped her during a chest exam. Authorities want a court order for a sample of Newman’s DNA to compare it with evidence taken from the gown that his alleged second victim was wearing on Jan. 11. “We plan on dealing with this in a responsible manner,” said Wing, adding that Newman is a “good man and excellent doctor” with a wife and two young children. Newman also has received support from other medical professionals. “I feel so bad for Dr. Newman being dragged through the mud on this,” said David Cundiff of Whistleblowerdoctor.org. A colleague of the physician’s wrote in an email to Jezebel:

– A renowned "TED-talker" and ER doctor at New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital who served in Iraq and who advocates for improved doctor-patient relationships was arrested Tuesday and charged with sexually abusing two patients, the New York Times reports. David H. Newman, said to be in his 40s (the Times and New York Daily News note he's 45) first came to the attention of police when a woman in her 20s called them Jan. 12 and said Dr. Newman assaulted her the night before. She says Newman entered the private room in the ER where she was being examined for shoulder pain, injected her with morphine even after she told him nurses already had, then groped her and masturbated on her face while she was incapacitated, sources tell the Daily News. After that story broke, a second woman, 22, came forward Sunday and told authorities that during a September visit to the ER for a bad head cold, Newman had groped her breast, the paper notes. An assistant DA said that Newman—who CBS New York said "showed no emotion" as he entered the NYPD's Special Victims division Tuesday with his lawyer—must have been carrying around his own supply of morphine, as only nurses are typically given access to the drug, per CBS. "[Dr. Newman] has been suspended from Mount Sinai pending the outcome of the investigation, and we continue to cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities," a statement from the hospital says, per the Times. Authorities want a court order for Newman's DNA to compare to DNA on the hospital gown the shoulder pain victim wore; she says she used the gown to wipe his semen off her face, then stashed it as evidence, the Daily News notes. "That's horrifying," a South Bronx woman who says she's had multiple surgeries at Mount Sinai tells CBS. "To hear something like that is very scary … how many other women has this happened to?" A judge Tuesday night set Newman's bail at $50,000 cash or $150,000 bond, the Times notes. (Jezebel has received multiple emails of support for Newman.)
