Dentist Finder San Diego

Benva Lazar, D.M.D., 57, who operated a practice in South San Jose, was arrested in August after a girl told police he had fondled her breasts, according to a story in the San Jose Mercury News. He ultimately pleaded no contest to felony sexual battery by fraud.

Last April, Lazar pleaded no contest to six misdemeanor charges in a plea bargain with the DA’s office. These related cases, dating to 2008, women ages 23 to 49 told police similar accounts of incidents in which Dr. Lazar said he was concerned about their health before he gave them his own version of a breast exam.

Dr. Lazar was sentenced January 28 to less than a year in county jail. However, he must register as a sex offender following his release, meaning he will lose his dental license permanently.
