Frankfort Doc’s Sex Case Pushed to October
Frankfort pediatrician Kishor Jain was in Will County court for his criminal sex case.
By Joseph Hosey
A Frankfort pediatrician's sex case has been pushed back until October.
The special prosecutor assigned to the case of Dr. Kishor Jain was tied up at the Grundy County Courthouse and was unable to attend a Monday morning hearing in Joliet.
Jain, 60, 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 after his arrest in February.
The Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation then suspended Jain's medical license indefinitely after he refused to testify at a hearing.
Jain is also the target of 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.
