Lawsuit filed against California dentist charged with sexual battery

A lawsuit has been filed against a California dentist who was arrested earlier this month and charged with sexual battery against patients, according to a Nov. 20 report by KSBW.

Weidong Wang, DDS, who operates a dental practice in Seaside, Calif., was charged with sexual battery on a medically incapacitated victim. 

The Seaside (Calif.) Police Department arrested Dr. Wang Nov. 8 following multiple reports from patients. Since the arrest was announced, two more alleged victims have come forward against Dr. Wang.

The case started in 2017 when three victims went to the police with accusations, but there were no charges filed because they were beyond the statute of limitations.  

Dunnion Law filed a civil lawsuit against Dr. Wang on behalf of two former patients. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary relief.
