Kevin Antario Brown, a doctor and son of Bermudan Premier Ewart Brown was arraigned in a Los Angeles court Friday on 19 charges of sexual molestation. He has also been accused of medicare fraud. He is being held on $4 million bail.

Bermuda is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean and is located off the east coast of the United States.

Fourteen of the 37-year-old Brown's patients have accused him of sexually molesting them, some while receiving medical treatment and others outside of his medical office. Some of the specific felony charges he faces are lewd act on a 15 year-old, rape, sexual battery by fraud and sexual exploitation. If convicted of these crimes, Brown could face 25 years in prison.

He is also under investigation for multiple healthcare fraud schemes and for over prescribing the pain killer oxycodone. His trial has been adjourned until August 7.

Brown was arrested July 8 at his home a few miles west of downtown Los Angeles. He initially was charged with sexual battery and exploiting his position as a doctor in incidents involving a female patient and a female undercover police officer posing as a patient.

Brown quickly posted $50,000 bail, but investigators were just getting started. The Los Angeles Police Department appealed for other potential victims to come forward.

Six more accusers did, and Brown was arrested again Monday. He was charged with 19 felony counts, including a lewd act on a 15-year-old child, rape, sexual battery by fraud and sexual exploitation.
