Plastic surgeon's license revoked three years after court acquitted him of charges
A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who was accused — and acquitted — of unlawfully videotaping partly nude patients lost his medical license Friday after state officials said he was a threat to public safety.
In 2013, a criminal court jury acquitted Lance Everett Wyatt of six misdemeanor counts, including unlawful videotaping two patients who were partly undressed and sexual battery on a patient.
Despite those acquittals, the Medical Board of California on June 2 moved to revoke Wyatt’s license, citing “intentional and inexcusable breach of [two of] his female patients’ trust by surreptitiously video recording them partially nude without their consent.”
The board accused Wyatt of “gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, unprofessional conduct, and sexual misconduct” saying in its decision that Wyatt chose to “deny all wrongdoing and characterize himself as the victim, with no real concern for the actual victims.”
