Embattled Frankfort Doctor Facing Yet Another Sex Lawsuit

A Frankfort pediatrician facing felony sex charges and a pair of civil lawsuits has been sued again.

A week after losing his medical license indefinitely, a Frankfort pediatrician already facing a felony sex case and a pair of civil suits alleging he groped women in his office was sued again.

The latest woman to sue Dr. Kishor Jain, Rebecca Miller, was also named in the criminal complaint filed against the pediatrician in February. The criminal complaint says Jain fondled Miller's breast.

Four other women are named along with Miller in the criminal complaint. One of them is also suing Jain.

In the lawsuit filed on Miller's behalf at the Will County Courthouse, Miller claims Jain "spent a long time touching her breasts and during that time he became aroused and (she) could tell he had an erection."

The Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation suspended Jain's license indefinitely after he refused to testify at a hearing last week in Chicago. Jain was no longer working at the time anyway, as he had already parted ways with the Hedges Clinic on Colorado Avenue, where he had been practicing prior to the recent allegations of sexual misconduct.
