Frankfort Doc Up On Sex Charges Refuses To Testify At License Hearing

The Frankfort pediatrician facing a felony sex case and a pair of civil suits alleging he groped women in his office lost his medical license to an indefinite suspension after refusing to testify at a hearing Tuesday.

The Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation suspended Dr. Kishor Jain's license last month pending Tuesday's hearing before an administrative law judge.

Jain attended the hearing in Chicago with an attorney, said IDFPR spokeswoman Susan Hofer, but would not testify when called to do so.

"Without his testimony, the case cannot go forward and the suspension remains in place," Hofer said.

The Hedges Clinic on Colorado Avenue, where Jain allegedly molested the women, had already parted ways with the doctor.

Jain's most recent criminal and civil cases are still pending. He successfully fought off a misdemeanor criminal case in 2002 after a Joliet woman accused him of groping her. That same year Jain was also sued by two women who claimed he "fondled  and touched (their) breasts and vagina." Records show the civil case was settled out of court in May 2007.

The current criminal case was prompted by complaints to the Frankfort police by a Manteno women in 2011. The Frankfort police were waiting on a decision from a special prosecutor on whether he was going to proceed when the woman sued Jain in January.
