Because of his money, use of crypto currency, and overseas family connections he was ordered held without bail as he was deemed a flight risk. I hope they can find any of his victims as well as any other predators he may know.

He wasn't a practicing physician though. He was a little pissant Resident who probably made about $60K working 100 hours per week and can pretty much kiss his career goodbye before it even got started.

But like you, I say "Good".

Will Florida get a prize for having the most weird stories in the country?

The Sunshine state keeps bringing them. Maybe it's the sun?

Never would I had thought of seeing doctor and sex trafficking in the same sentence. Florida changed that. lol

I don't think he was a doctor, with an MD degree, I mean. He was only 26. The medical center were he worked called him an intern, IIRC. It's highly unlikely, that someone just 4-5 years out of college would have an MD. Doesn't it take 8 years after the undergrad degree?

He was a Resident. A medical degree in the US is a 4 year degree if you go through a traditional path. Not sure whether it was allopathic (MD) or Osteopathic (DO), but that means he's a physician, but in training. If you read he was an Intern, that means it's his first year of Residency (PGY-1) and a residency in emergency medicine is 3-4 years long depending on the program.

If he was a traditional student, he could easily be a PGY-1 or PGY-2 at the age of 26 by finishing Undergrad at 22 (or even 21), followed by 4 years of Med school (finishing at 25-26) and now in his first year of training.

In any event, the description of him as a "doctor" is technically correct, but he's not a fully licensed physician or even anywhere close.

It makes for some good clickbait though.

Thanks for explaining. I think the headline called him a "doctor" just to make the story sound more sensationalistic.

Look deeper into the story and you usually figure out the "Florida man" was fresh out of another state!

Remember the Massachusetts kid was a medical student and he was beating/killing hookers in high end hotels.

BU medical student arrested in hotel killing, robbery - The Boston Globe

A local dentist got busted leaving his infant baby in a SUV while he was inside a seedy strip club. It was a very rough neighborhood, they regularly had shootings in the parking lot, robberies, definitely NOT the place to leave an infant alone in the dark.

Dr's are people, people make dumb decisions.
