MANHATTAN, NEW YORK -- A prominent surgeon allegedly sexually assaulted a woman at gunpoint in his apartment, according to an indictment from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office released on Tuesday.
Dr. Maurizio Miglietta, 56, a professor of surgery at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, an honorary police surgeon for the NYPD and a former consultant for the U.S. Secret Service, pleaded not guilty to rape, attempted rape and other charges.
Miglietta met the 28-year-old alleged victim through a networking event in the medical field, according to the indictment.
The indictment says the woman allegedly went to Miglietta's Financial District apartment on June 5 expecting to discuss her business ventures.
Miglietta allegedly kissed her without her consent, and when she attempted to push him away, he lifted his shirt and displayed a firearm that he said was loaded, the indictment said.
