A very well known plastic surgeon in Los Angeles is being charged with a dozen misdemeanor counts for video taping his female patients while they got undressed.
One patient even discovered a camera in the office of Dr. Lance Everett Wyatt, who is reportedly a doctor to the stars.

The LA Times reports:
Dr. Lance Everett Wyatt, 42, was arrested without incident Thursday morning by Los Angeles police and investigators with the Medical Board of California’s Operation Safe Medicine. He could not be immediately reached for comment. Wyatt has appeared on several TV shows about plastic surgery including “20/20” and “The Doctors.”
Wyatt, who has an office near the Beverly Center and specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery, faces six misdemeanor counts four of them related to the secret video recordings and the other two counts related to what the Los Angeles city attorney’s office described as “sexual battery and battery.”
“The sexual battery and battery counts relate to the way in which the doctor conducted the examination,” said Deputy City Atty. Richard Kraft. He added: “The evidence of the defendant’s violation of his patients’ trust and invasion of privacy was compelling.”
Thankfully the patient that discovered the footage turned it over to police and if convicted on all counts, Wyatt faces a maximum sentence of two years in county jail and is required to register as a sex offender.
