A Cincinnati doctor is charged in Clermont County with rape and sexual battery after he admitted to sexually assaulting a disabled patient, according to court documents. 
According to the complaint filed in Clermont County Municipal Court, on April 24, a patient at The Urology Group told Union Township Police that Dr. 
Michael Rousseau asked the victim to perform sexual acts as he exposed himself to the victim. 
Court documents show that the State Medical Board of Ohio was notified of the incident and performed an investigation. 
During a meeting with a medical board investigator on July 30, court documents say Rousseau admitted to engaging in an “embrace” and “kiss” with the victim. 
Rousseau then told the investigator that he exposed himself, at which point the victim performed sexual acts on him. 
Rousseau admitted that after the encounter, he told the victim, “This has to stay between you and me.” 
The doctor described the assault as a “lack of judgement” in his interview with the investigator, documents show. 
On Aug. 3, the victim gave a second interview in which they disclosed that Rousseau did, in fact, hug and then kiss them and reiterated the elements of the assault. 
The complaint says that the victim “was and is substantially impaired because of a diagnosed mental condition.” 
Rousseau has been charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual battery. 
Rousseau’s bond was set at $1 million and he is due back in court on Aug. 
14.
