A veteran Arkansas gynecologist is on the lam after a patient accused the 68-year-old doc of photographing her nude private parts without her consent during an exam at his private practice.
Paul Becton Jr. hasn’t been seen after state police issued an arrest warrant on five counts of video voyeurism on Monday and is reportedly out of town.
The alleged pervy practitioner snapped pictures of a patient’s “pubic region and her buttocks” without her consent April 1 during a routine exam, the woman told Paragould police. Arkansas State Police later got a search warrant to seize Becton’s cellphone on April 10.
“Found in the deleted images within the hard-drive of the cellular telephone were numerous images of nude females that appear to have been taken in a medical office during medical examinations,” the arrest warrant reads. “Also recovered during the examination were what appear to be photographs” of the woman who first reported the crime, the document reads.
It’s unclear how many victims there may have been, but so far, the alleged creepy quack faces charges only related to the five images found on the original patient who saw him photographing her.
According to his bio on the Becton Women’s Clinic website in Paragould, Becton has more than three decades of experience “delivering babies and giving women excellent medical care in Arkansas.”
A receptionist who answered the phone at his private practice, located within the Arkansas Methodist Medical Center, said the doctor was not in and that she did not know when he would be.
