Eman A. Shirazi, DDS, was sentenced to 144 days of jail time and a year and a half of probation on Oct. 10. Dr. Shirazi pleaded guilty to cornering and inappropriately touching a woman in his dental practice in 2018. Felony sexual abuse charges were dismissed as part of the plea deal.
The victim said Dr. Shirazi also performed extremely painful dental work after the assault, a combination the judge deemed “a patient’s worst nightmare,” according to the Northwest Herald.
