Scottsdale police: Medical worker accused of a sexual assault
Authorities say a medical worker at a north Scottsdale pain treatment center has been accused of sexual assault.
Scottsdale police say 38-year-old Xavier Uziel Perez was arrested Wednesday without incident.
It’s unclear if he has a lawyer yet.
Police say officers responded to Integrated Pain Consultants about a reported sexual assault in June 2018.
They say a 48-year-old woman reported she had been under sedation for back pain treatment.
As the woman began to regain consciousness in recovery, she believed she had been sexually assaulted by the medical worker in the recovery room.
Police say the woman identified that worker as Perez and it took months for detectives to gather evidence and establish probable cause for his arrest.
