WASHINGTON COUNTY, ARKANSAS, Ark. — After a Washington County judge issued an arrest warrant against Dr. Adam Maass, who was accused of two counts of sexual assault against a medical patient, he turned himself in on June 10.
The latest warrant comes days after Dr. Maass was booked into the Benton County jail after the Cave Springs Police Department received a sexual assault complaint in February 2022. The victim told police that Dr. Maass had touched her breast without her consent during a medical exam, officials said.
Cave Springs Police said they have received at least 10 other complaints from women who have reported similar experiences with Dr. Maass.
The Washington County charges stem from October and November 2021 incidents where Dr. Maass allegedly "engaged in sexual contact with a medical patient by forcible compulsion" resulting in two charges of second-degree sexual assault by the Washington County prosecutor.
Court records state that he also had been censured by the Arkansas State Medical Board for failing to have a chaperone present and for failing to document the breast exams.
5NEWS spoke to a woman who was a patient of Dr. Maass who says he touched her inappropriately. She chose to remain anonymous at this time.
According to Main Street Medical Associates, Dr. Maass has been in endocrinology for 17 years.
Dr. Maass appeared in Benton County court virtually on June 9 where a judge set his bond at $50,000. He was released from jail on Friday, June 10 at 5:49 p.m.
On June 29, he pleaded not guilty in Washington County for the two sexual assault charges in that county.
This is an ongoing investigation and no other details have been released at this time.
