A Florida doctor has been charged within the alleged sexual assaults of two women who were undergoing procedures at his office, in keeping with police.
The Naples doctor, Eric Andrew Salata, is facing two counts of sexual battery to a physically helpless person, in keeping with news reports. The 54-year-old victimized two women – 51 and 73 – in the midst of the cosmetic procedures after allegedly sedating them, in keeping with a police report obtained by the Naples Each day News.
The 51-year-old woman told police that in her procedure last month, Salata administered laughing gas to assist her with the pain on top of a prescription she took when she arrived, in keeping with a police report.
While admittedly not in her right mind, she said she felt Salata touch her private parts before she questioned what he was doing and he stopped, the report states.
He then used more laughing gas and offered her an unknown clear liquid, possibly tequila, to drink, the report states. By that point, she said she was intoxicated and passed out.
When she woke up, she said she saw Salata performing oral sex and passed out again before she could stop him, in keeping with the report. When she woke up again, he was allegedly penetrating her, the newspaper reported, before she again became unconscious.
The Naples Each day News reported the 73-year-old woman got here forward Monday and told cops that Salata raped her during her procedure, citing authorities.
The victim reportedly told officers the doctor massaged an area on her body and offered her laughing gas to alleviate any pain. Because the massage continued and more laughing gas was pumped, the victim said Salata then raped her, in keeping with the report.
She said she was awake and alert through the assault, and that Salata was on top of her for about 15 seconds, in keeping with the report.
Salata owns Pura Vida Medical Spa together with his wife, in keeping with WZVN.
During each procedures, Salata was allegedly the one person within the room, the station reported.
He was reportedly arrested Monday night – the identical day the second woman got here forward – and placed under a $200,000 bond.
