The incidents were reported between October 1st and November 15th. All were female patients between the ages of 20 and 32. Computerized records were 
audited that lead to identifying the resident. See electronic records are good for unfortunate occurrences such as this in nailing down the history. He was in the charts digging around of the six victims and performed physical exams, didn’t document in the charts.
Three of the victims were not under his area of jurisdiction, being “non teaching” patients so he had no reason to be in the charts. The Attorney General and the Healthcare system are looking for him and there’s information at the bottom of the post on how to report any tips. I hope they find him and again when accessing sophisticated medical record systems today, there’s usually always an audit trail and hopefully the medical records are leading authorities in the right direction here to capture this former resident. Taking off and being on the run doesn’t seem to be a very good indicator here. BD
