Prominent South LA doctor preyed on female patients, DA says

Kevin Brown, MD, was a prominent South L.A. physician with an impressive international resume that included being the son of the former premier of Bermuda. He organized charity fundraisers at the Playboy Mansion attended by celebrities like Don Cheadle and Khloe Kardashian. Authorities, however, claim Brown was also a predator who sexually assaulted nearly a dozen patients, including a 15-year-old and an undercover LAPD officer. After a nearly three-week trial, a jury began deliberations Thursday in the case. Deputy Dist. Atty. Ann Marie Wise said Brown used his Crenshaw Boulevard practice as "his personal playground" where anyone who came in "was his prey." Defense attorney Edi Faal called the accusations outright lies and said authorities had a vendetta against Brown because he had previously been acquitted in two other sexual assault cases. They also suggested bias because the alleged victim is the niece of an LAPD officer.
