CHARLOTTE, N.C. — 11 more women are accusing a Charlotte doctor of sexual assaulting them in his office.
Dr. Mario Hernandez, 58, was arrested almost two weeks ago for allegedly sexual assaulting three women in his clinic on Arrowood Road. Now, 11 more women are stepping forward.
Hernandez has entered into a non-practice agreement with the North Carolina Medical Board. The agreement states that Hernandez denies the charges and allegations but it does not prevent the Medical Board from pursuing its own investigation.
Police are still investigating the new claims and have not filed any additional charges.
WCCB will provide updates.
