CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A former dentist accused of using syringes to squirt his semen into the mouths of female patients pleaded guilty to seven assault charges Wednesday but did not admit guilt.
John Hall entered the Alford plea -- under which a defendant pleads guilty but does not admit actual guilt -- at a hearing before Superior Court Judge Robert Ervin. He was charged with seven counts of misdemeanor assault on a female.
Ervin placed Hall, 44, on probation for five years, telling the alleged victims he chose that over a maximum 120-day prison sentence in the hope that Hall's activities would be monitored and similar acts prevented.
