Convicted sex offender uses rash and hemorrhoid ruse to get in an exam room with a woman doctor in a Chelsea clinic and fondle himself to completion, DA says

A Boston man with a history of sex crimes dating to 1997 was ordered held in lieu of $50,000 bail on a variety of charges, including indecent assault and battery, for masturbating during a medical exam he'd requested at a clinic in Chelsea on Friday, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports - adding the quick-thinking doctor managed to grab his exam gown and use it as a shield as he was finishing.

Christopher Fisher, 58, who told the Massachusetts Sexual Offenders Registry Board just last week that he was homeless and camping out in Franklin Park, is a Level 3 sex offender with multiple convictions for open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior, the DA's office says.

According to prosecutors, Fisher walked into the MGH Healthcare Center on Everett Avenue in Chelsea with a supposed concern about "a rash on and around his genitals and bleeding from possible hemorrhoids." He asked specifically for a woman doctor:

After an initial assessment, the doctor asked Fisher to change into a hospital gown for further examination. The doctor proceeded with a medical assistant present, per MGH policy regarding such exams. The doctor told Fisher she did not observe any rashes and noticed Fisher becoming aroused. Fisher then asked the doctor to further examine his genitals due to additional concerns. During this exam, Fisher insisted he suffered from a rash while grabbing his erect penis and saying "Look! Look at it! There is something there."

The doctor observed Fisher moving his hand in an up and down motion, turning his body toward her, and attempting to ejaculate on her. The doctor lifted the hospital gown up as a barrier between her and Fisher.

Police met with the doctor and assistant. The assistant corroborated the doctor’s statements and provided officers with a bag containing the hospital gown and seat covering bearing Fisher’s bodily fluids.

In addition to his newly wet gown, police also recovered his socks, filled with 17 1/2 "white oval pills" that turned to be prescription painkillers, the DA's office says.

"I am very sorry for what these women witnessed while they were simply trying to do their jobs," DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement.

Fisher was formally charged with two counts of indecent exposure, two counts of open and gross lewdness, assault, indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 and possession of a class E substance.

Innocent, etc.
