Drago, 29 is talking about her doctor, Edwin Njoku. She says he sexually assaulted her last October in his East Hartford office during an exam. She went to the emergency room after the attack, and police were called.
His license has already been suspended. A lab technician testified that the DNA in the fluids is consistent with Dr. Njoku. An East Hartford police officer said, when he first interviewed Dr. Njoku, the doctor had a curious reaction.
Dr. Njoku's attorney told the medical panel that Drago's recount of what happened was inconsistent. But the lawyer for the health department had this response.
"The victim did not make up the DNA results and they match, exactly, her story," said David Tilles, Health Dept. Attorney.
Dr.Njoku sat listening to all of the details without taking the stand. His attorney rested without calling any witnesses.
"I have lots of things to say, and I will say it to you at the end of the criminal proceedings, but at this present time its improper for me to do so," said Dr.Njoku, accused Physician.
His accuser was also in the room, and it was no easier for her.
"It's very hard just to sit there and see him sitting like he didn't did nothing. Like he's an innocent person and he's not, he did say to you all through the TV that the truth will come out and the truth did came out. Once and for all I have to prove once again the DNA. It show everything," said Drago, alleged victim.
