Dr. Adam Maass, a doctor facing felony sexual assault charges in Benton County, pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor harassment in Washington County Circuit Court. Maass was placed on probation for a year, fined $2,500, and agreed to surrender his medical license and not seek one in any other jurisdiction. Despite the plea bargain, Maass admitted to touching another person’s breasts without consent, leading to offensive physical contact.
Washington County Prosecuting Attorney Brandon Carter expressed satisfaction with holding Maass accountable despite setbacks in the prosecution. Carter emphasized the importance of preventing Maass from practicing medicine in any jurisdiction to protect potential victims in the future.
In Benton County, Maass agreed to give up his medical license, and charges against him were dropped. Maass faced three counts of sexual assault for inappropriately touching three patients and agreed to forfeit his license before trial. Prosecutors have a year to refile the charges if they choose to do so.
Multiple women reported similar experiences of inappropriate touching by Maass to police, leading to the discovery of undocumented breast exams in medical records. A lawsuit has been filed against Maass by one of the accusers in Benton County, with a trial scheduled for October.
The case against Maass highlights the importance of accountability in cases of harassment and sexual assault, with prosecutors aiming to protect potential victims and seek justice for those affected by his actions.
