An urgent care doctor in Norwich who was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage patient, as well as two others, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Dr. Manoj K. Saxena, of Mansfield, was charged with second-degree sexual assault and fourth-degree and he was found guilty of the charges in February.
On Tuesday, he was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended after 18 months, followed by 10 years of probation.
On May 14, 205, police arrested Saxena after an 18-year-old patient accused him of sexually assaulting her when she went to Concentra Urgent Care to be treated after a student bit her arm, according to the prior arrest warrant application.
She told police that Saxena offered to conduct a breast exam and pap smear during the visit, then hugged her and kissed her forehead after.
Following that arrest, detectives continued to investigate and two additional victims both said Saxena sexually assaulted them while “acting in his official capacity as a medical doctor” for Concentra Urgent Care at 10 Connecticut Avenue in Norwich.
