PLOVER, Wis. (WSAU) — A former Plover doctor will be in court later this month to face charges of third and fourth degree sexual assault.
45-year-old Dr. Wilton Calderon was charged December 21st with four felony and six misdemeanor counts of having unwanted sexual contact with patients while employed as a physician at Plover Family Practice. The complaint refers to treatments that were called “manipulations” that often involved handling the patient’s breasts.
Plover Police Chief Dan Ault issued a statement saying they received an anonymous tip alleging that Calderon was engaged in exchanging medication for sexual contact. Investigators subsequently identified several women who accused Calderon of unwanted sexual contact while being treated by him.
The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are still gathering information and asking the public to come forward with other possible information that may pertain to the doctor.
Ault says the investigation has been going on over the past eight months. Dr. Calderon left Plover Family Practice just over a year ago, and now lives in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Ministry Health Care owns and operates the Plover facility. They have issued a statement saying they are fully cooperating with law enforcement, but cannot comment any further at this time because it is an ongoing investigation.
