Dr. Fausto Daniel Fernandez, MD

THIS IS the Alexandria doctor who specializes in providing physical examinations for immigrants needing them for permanent residency has been charged with sexually molesting a patient during such an exam, police said yesterday. Fausto D. Fernandez, 64, faces one count of misdemeanor sexual battery based on the allegations of a 38-year-old Alexandria man. The man visited Fernandez's King Street office Nov. 1 and several weeks later told authorities that the doctor molested him during the examination, police said. Fernandez turned himself in to police Tuesday afternoon and was released from the Alexandria city jail that night on a $2,500 cash bond. He did not respond to messages left yesterday at his office. Alexandria police issued a call for any additional victims to contact authorities and posted Fernandez's picture on the city's Web site. Police and immigration advocates said immigrants often are reluctant to come forward in such circumstances, for reasons that can range… from cultural differences to fear of dealing with law enforcement. Google it, not sure WHY HE IS EVEN LISTED HERE. AVOID.
