Cheshire dentist accused of sexual assault
A married, 41 year old dentist has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman at her home in Cheshire.
Roger Klein, who works at Regent Cosmetic dental practice in Knutsford, appeared at Manchester Crown Court yesterday facing allegations of assault. The jury was told how Mr Klein mistook the female patient’s friendly proposal to drop off a few leaflets for the practice, as a suggestion that she wanted a sexual relationship with the dentist.
Mr Klein was arrested following an incident at the woman’s home in April last year; on the 13th April, Mr Klein allegedly drove to the woman’s house, forced his way in and began to pin her down to her bed. The woman struggled to escape his grip and after a period of time, he allegedly started to undo his trousers while speaking suggestively to his female patient and trying to kiss her repeatedly. The woman asked Mr Klein about his wife, to which he replied, “I don’t care about her.” After a long struggle, the woman fell to the floor and the ordeal came to an end.
Mr Klein is said to have apologised to the woman via text message; however, she responded only to say that was “disgusted” with his behaviour and did not wish to see him again. When questioned by police, Klein insisted that his patient had invited him to engage in a romantic relationship with him during an alcohol-fuelled discussion earlier in the week and had invited him into her bedroom after he arrived at her house. The victim denies she gave him any encouragement and was said to be extremely shocked by his behaviour.
Roger Klein, who lives in Lymm, denies all allegations of sexual assault and the trial continues in Manchester.
