A Connecticut pediatrician has been arrested and charged in connection with a reported sexual assault.
On May 2, the Norwich Police Department received a complaint regarding a sexual assault. An investigation led to the development of probable cause for the arrest of Dr. Ravi Prakash, according to police.
Prakash is a pediatrician at Prakash Pediatrics in Norwich. According to the practice’s website, he has 27 years of experience in pediatric practice, “including 20 years caring for children here in Norwich.”
