BRANFORD, Conn. — A Branford pediatrician was arrested on Friday for allegedly sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman who was a patient of his.
Branford police said Dr. Michael Sheehan was arrested for sexual assault.
An investigation led by the Branford Police Department's Detective Division revealed that in late June, Sheehan allegedly sexually assaulted a 20-year-old woman during a scheduled medical examination. The police did not reveal any other details about the incident.
Sheehan has been employed by Branford Pediatric & Adolescents since July 1, 2008, and worked in both the Clinton and Branford offices.
