A Level 3 sex offender has been charged with sexual offenses during a medical exam at a Massachusetts General Hospital center, according to the Suffolk DA.

The 58-year-old Boston man, Christopher Fisher, is facing a slew of charges following the alleged sexual assault at the MGH Healthcare Center in Chelsea.

Fisher is being held on $50,000 bail after being 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.

The registered Level 3 sex offender has a 19-page board of probation record, including multiple convictions for open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior.

Chelsea Police last Friday were alerted by MGH security of a sexual assault at the MGH Healthcare Center located on Everett Avenue.

A patient, later identified as Fisher, had requested to be seen by a female doctor. Fisher reportedly told the doctor he was concerned about a rash on and around his genitals, and bleeding from possible hemorrhoids.

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 allegedly grabbing his erect penis and saying, “Look! Look at it! There is something there.”

The doctor reportedly saw 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.

During a search, police recovered a black plastic bag tucked into Fisher’s sock, filled with 17.5 white oval pills.

“Incidents like this illustrate how unpredictable a call or interaction can be for health care workers and first responders,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden said in a statement. “I am very sorry for what these women witnessed while they were simply trying to do their jobs.”
