Suspected Dr. Pervert Loses Appeal

Suspected Dr. Pervert, Maurice Wolin, aka "Tall Dreamy Doc" of Dateline NBC infamy has once again lost his bid to have charges thrown out.

The California 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco announced yesterday that they will not dismiss the charges of attempted lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old.

Wolin was arrested back in 2006 after he fell for a Dateline NBC "To Catch a Predator" sting conducted in conjunction with the Petaluma Police Department and online watchdog group Perverted Justice. In the sting, decoys pretending to be under aged teens, chatted online with men who later made arrangements to meet for sex. Many of the other twenty-seven men who were arrested with him have already plead guilty. Wolin, however, with his considerable resources has fought tooth and nail to have the charges dropped claiming that he was entrapped.

Wolin, if convicted, faces up to four years in prison, the suspension of his medical license, and be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
