Psychiatrist jailed on allegation he raped patient during ‘exam’ at Aventura Hospital
–Excerpt
A psychiatrist surrendered Wednesday to face an allegation he sexually assaulted a patient during private “exams” at Aventura Hospital more than two years ago.
Dr. Keun Lee has previously been awaiting extradition in jail in Bergen, New Jersey. Last week, he appeared in New Jersey court and under a deal with prosecutors, was allowed to post bond in exchange for agreeing to fly to Miami and surrender.
He was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on Wednesday on two counts of sexual battery…
After the case was reported to Aventura police, detectives tried calling Lee, to no avail. Investigators learned that he flew to his native South Korea in April 2021, and then returned in July 2021.
