Re: Woman's lawsuit claims assault during ultrasound

IF this is true, then this is why.

"He said his client needed a routine abdominal ultrasound, but Pavlick duped her into allowing him to use a vaginal wand.

The lawsuit claims Pavlick used the device on the woman in an aggressive, sexual manner while also using his fingers. It further states that he made small talk with her and invited her to share his lunch."

The story said he pleaded guilty to SIMPLE assault and they dropped the SEXUAL assault charges. BIG difference in the course of things. He's getting off easy.

Maybe someone can help me with this...but I don't understand why he pleaded no contest instead of not guilty. My first thought is then that he really did assault her.

Anyone else have thoughts on this or am I out of line in asking?
