The doctor son of Bermuda's premier Ewart Brown has been arrested in Los Angeles over sex abuse allegations, including rape, involving six patients, prosecutors said.


Kevin Brown, 37, was already charged with sexual battery of a female patient and an undercover police officer.

Brown, a doctor at Crenshaw Expo Medical Centre, was detained in lieu of $4 million bail following his arrest. He will be arraigned in court tomorrow.

Prosecutor Ann Marie Wise said the new charges arose from alleged victims who had contacted authorities after Brown was initially arrested.

The fresh felony charges against Brown include a count of a lewd act with a 15-year-old child, sexual battery by fraud and sexual exploitation.

Prosecutors asked for a multi-million dollar bail because they believe Brown is a flight risk, Wise said.

Brown faces up to 25 years punishment in state prison, if found guilty.
