PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — A Virginia pediatrician has been arrested on charges of sexually assaulting two young victims while practicing medicine, according to Prince William County Police.
Back in November 2020, the Special Victims Unit in the Prince William Police Department began an investigation into a reported sexual assault at the Potomac Pediatrics P.C. located at 2296 Opitz Boulevard in Woodbridge, according to police. The investigation included alleged sexual assaults that happened between October 2014 and November 2020 by Leonard Lee Touchette, said PWPD.
Police said one of Touchette's alleged victims was a woman who was a girl between the ages of 11 and 17 years old at the time of the reported offenses.
The assaults occurred on more than one occasion during that time frame, according to police. When WUSA9 asked if police were looking for any additional victims, police said that "we will certainly investigate any allegations that are brought to our attention.”
Touchette has been charged with two counts of object sexual penetration and two counts of aggravated sexual battery, according to PWPD.
Touchette's office, Potomac Pediatrics P.C., closed permanently on the day of Touchette's arrest. Here is their statement below:
