Las Cruces Psychiatrist Arrested by Police After Joint Investigation by DEA, Locals

After an extensive investigation by Las Cruces Police Department, the DEA, and Metro Narcotics, psychiatrist and pain management specialist Mark D. Beale was arrested and ultimately charged with three counts of Criminal Sexual Penetration in the Third Degree, twenty-eight counts of Criminal Sexual Contact in the Fourth Degree, and three counts of Battery. Las Cruces police first learned of sexual assault allegations against Beale in October 2018, ultimately investigating complaints from six of his patients prior to his arrest. Three more victims came forward after news of Beale’s arrest became known. The allegations date back as far as January 2015 and the victims range in age from 21 to 60. Metro Narcotics is a joint agency formed by the Las Cruces Police Department, the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office, and New Mexico State Police. In unrelated news, Jeremy Dewitte had a pre-trial conference scheduled yesterday morning before Orange County Judge Andrew Bain. Neither Jeremy nor his attorney showed up. [In related news, guess how I spent three hours yesterday morning.] At the end of the morning session I spoke with Judge Bain, who confirmed that he had not received a request for a continuance from Dewitte or anyone representing him. Realistically, this nonappearance is a minor administrative matter relating to a traffic ticket, and - assuming something didn't come in that the judge missed - it's probably not Jeremy's fault. Judge Bain made it seem like this happens all the time, stating that they handle it by calling the attorney to figure out what happened and reschedule. ~~~ Follow us on Twitter @realworldpolice ~~~ Real World Police is a proud supporter of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which provides pro bono legal representation, amicus curiae support, and other legal resources to protect the First Amendment freedoms and the news gathering rights of journalists. ~~~ Do you have independently verifiable inside information on a story we are or should be covering?
