The Arizona Board of Dental Examiners has offered an interim consent agreement to a dentist recently charged with child sex crimes, AZFamily reported June 30.
Jonathan Sanders, DMD, was recently charged with multiple counts of knowingly receiving child pornography, coercion and enticement of a minor, and transferring obscene matter to a minor. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The dental board ruled June 30 that the allegations were sufficient to open a formal complaint, and voted to offer the agreement to Dr. Sanders. Under the agreement, Dr. Sanders would not practice until his criminal case is resolved.
Dr. Sanders has seven days to sign the agreement. If he does not, the board can proceed with suspending and revoking his license.
