PHOENIX – A former Arizona psychiatrist who is now considered a fugitive was recently found guilty of sexually abusing patients, authorities announced Wednesday.
Muhammad Saeed, 57, practiced in Tucson from 2004 to 2020, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.
Prosecutors believe he fled to Pakistan before his trial on 30 counts of sexual abuse, three counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, and one count of sexual assault.
On June 19, Saeed was convicted on all charges, which were related to his behavior with three patients.
The victims testified about multiple instances of sexual contact by Saeed and said the Arizona psychiatrist got them addicted to controlled substances, according to prosecutors.
“This doctor abused his doctor-patient relationships and took advantage of his position of power to prey on the women in his care,” Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a press release. “I am inspired by the three former patients who testified at this trial and helped us bring Dr. Saeed to justice.”

Well, at least he self-deported, you crazy MAGA's tend to stay here after committing your crimes.
I suppose it's because you don't want to lose the chance of being elected president someday.
LOL, you must need an easier question...How's this, what's your name Steve?
That's not a question dimwit, that's a statement.
LOL/SMH
But since you brought it up, what is Trump winning? His approval numbers are way down, so he's not winning the support of the American people. His bank account is growing as he uses the office of president for his financial gains, maybe that's what you're referring to as winning?
