A California dentist accused of fondling more than a dozen female patients has withdrawn his motion to have the media barred, according to news reports.
Jury selection in the trial of Mark Anderson, D.D.S., of Woodland, CA, is scheduled to start this week in Yolo Superior Court. But Dr. Anderson's lawyer, Michael Rothschild, filed a one-sentence motion in late December asking the court to exclude all media from all trial proceedings, according to a story last week in the Sacramento Bee.
Dr. Anderson had his license suspended after 27 women came forward in 2007 and accused him of touching them inappropriately in the dental chair.
Dr. Anderson continues to deny his guilt, according to the Bee.
