Doctor pleads from attempted rape to misdemeanor assault

Dr. Bret Sokoloff of Germantown was convicted of three counts of misdemeanor assault after charges of attempted rape, sexual battery and indecent exposure were dismissed. He assaulted three nurses, and was sentenced to three years of probation.

The 37-year-old was indicted last year on five counts of sexual battery and two counts of attempted rape that allegedly occurred between 2005 and February of this year.He was also charged last year with indecent exposure after a professional masseuse at Massage Envy in Collierville said Sokoloff removed his sheet and exposed himself during his massage therapy.

Sokoloff has not practiced since his arrest, even though he has not been formally suspended.
The Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners will take action, if any, on his license.

My husband was a med school classmate of Bret's and Bret always seemed incredibly "proper" and his wife Lori is very straight-laced too, and Bret was head of the alumni association. But, apparently during med school he was always hitting on the women he encountered (such as residents and nurses and fellows) very inappropriately (according to another med school classmate) so we're not surprised after all. He's on probation and I wonder if he will ever be able to practice again.
