A 46-year-old dentist from Kasterlee, Belgium, has been accused of sexually inappropriate behavior towards patients, with complaints filed by seven women. A 71-year-old woman initially reported to police in the summer that the dentist touched her groin area during a treatment. Further complaints followed from women aged 28, 32, 33, and 57. One 28-year-old patient detailed to HLN how the dentist made inappropriate comments and engaged in unwanted physical contact, including stroking her hair, neck, and even her lips during appointments, and allegedly pushed her head towards his groin. The dentist was arrested during a search but has since been released under strict conditions, including a ban from practicing dentistry, pending a judicial investigation. Authorities launched the investigation after the initial report and continue to gather evidence regarding the allegations.
