A 69-year-old dentist was arrested for offering an indecent proposal to his minor patient in General Santos City.
Dentists are skilled individuals who have dedicated their careers to keeping our mouths in tip-top shape. They go through years of education and training to become experts in oral health. Just like doctors take care of our bodies, dentists focus on everything related to our mouths.
The first thing you’ll notice is the friendly environment, often filled with the sound of calming music and the scent of minty freshness. Dentists and their team of dental hygienists and assistants work together to create a welcoming space for their patients.
Recently, a dentist was arrested after being accused of offering a 15-year-old patient free dental braces in exchange for engaging in inappropriate acts. The authorities arrested the suspect, but the victim and her family decided not to pursue the complaint.
The victim approached the police to report the alleged misconduct. According to the police investigation, the elderly dentist allegedly offered the young girl free braces, suggesting that he would perform the dental procedure if she agreed to engage in inappropriate activities with him.
However, the victim refused the offer, leading the dentist to allegedly touch her inappropriately. The authorities acted quickly, arresting the dentist on charges related to the incident.
Despite the arrest, the victim and her family chose not to pursue the complaint further. Eventually, the suspect was released from custody.
Lagao Police Station chief Major Ivan Charles Abastillas explained that there could be two reasons why the victim did not proceed with the complaint against the suspect. He urged the public to report similar incidents to the police.
He also emphasized the importance of addressing such cases to prevent similar incidents in the future.
