Fake dentist in Virginia charged with assaulting children during care

A Virginia man who was charged in March with the sexual assault of a minor and practicing unlicensed dentistry now faces 11 more charges, according to CBS affiliate WUSA.

Juan Ramos Jacobe had operated a makeshift dental clinic out of his home in Sterling, Va., since 2016, according to the local sheriff's office.

Mr. Ramos Jacobe was first arrested March 26 after a minor said he had assaulted her when she was mildly sedated to have dental work performed.

Mr. Ramos Jacobe was charged July 20 with an additional count of assault and battery, five counts of sexual assault and five counts of practicing unlicensed dentistry. The new charges are the result of more victims coming forward.

Mr. Ramos Jacobe is being held without bond.
