Frankfort Doc's Sex Case Waiting on Medical Evidence

Doctor Kishor Jain was told to come back to court in January.

The case against a Frankfort pediatrician charged with groping women in his office was put on hold while lawyers sift through medical records.

Kishor Jain, 60, was arrested in February and faces 10 counts of felony criminal sexual abuse, five counts of misdemeanor battery, and a single count of criminal sexual assault for allegedly groping five women while working at the Hedges Clinic. Jain stopped working at the clinic soon after he was hit with the charges.

Before he was arrested, Jain was named in the first of what turned into four civil lawsuits alleging he groped, fondled and sexually assaulted women while working as a doctor. A fifth lawsuit accuses Jain of sexually assaulting a minor child.

To make matter worse for Jain, the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation then suspended his medical license indefinitely after he refused to testify at a hearing.

During a Thursday morning court appearance, Jain's attorney, Gerald Kielian, told Judge Robert Livas that evidence was still be sorted out.

"Judge, we're still working on discovery," Kielian said. "There's a lot of medical records."

Judge Livas set a January date for Jain to return to court.
