Dr. Albert Hazzouri of Scranton allegedly touched the woman over her clothing, backed up against her and wrapped his hands around her buttocks while walking her back to her car after an appointment at his office on Lackawanna Avenue on May 20, according to reports from WNEP and PennLive.
The woman immediately reported the incident to police and agreed to participate in a recorded phone call, during which Hazzouri allegedly apologized and stated that he was unaware of his actions until the incident was over, the PennLive report says.
Hazzouri then offered the woman free dental care for life, according to the report.
He turned himself in Tuesday and was arraigned on charges for indecent assault and harassment.
