Sexual assault charges filed against doctor

MACCLENNY, Fla. (AP) -- A doctor was charged with sexually assaulting a patient three times, including an encounter captured on a hidden camera, Baker County Sheriff's Office said Friday.
Adel H. Regaila, 36, was in custody at the Baker County jail in lieu of $1 million bail on three counts of sexual battery, the Florida Times-Union reported.
Regaila previously worked at St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown and the Jersey City Medical Center in New Jersey, according to reports from the Florida Department of Health.
Regaila, an Egyptian citizen, has lived in the United States for six years and has a work visa, the sheriff's office said.
According to the sheriff's office, on Oct. 4 a woman reported Regaila rubbed his genitals on her body during an exam that day.
Caught on tape
Deputies gave the woman a camera for use during her next appointment, and she later reported that Regaila touched her genitals and rubbed her breasts during the exam, but the camera did not work because of a power failure, officials said.
Three days later, the camera recorded the physician rubbing his body against hers. Regaila also exposed himself during the encounter, the sheriff's office said.
Judge Joseph Williams said Regaila could not leave the jail without surrendering his passport, and he is not allowed to leave Florida, practice medicine or make contact with the woman who reported the alleged abuse.
Regaila told the Department of Health when he moved to Florida he has had no disciplinary actions or criminal offenses.
