An investigation into Dr. Singh led the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office to filing felony sexual battery charges against him. It's unclear exactly when those charges were filed, but Dr. Singh was stopped and arrested Saturday at SFO by San Francisco police.
Dr. Singh was booked into San Mateo County Jail that day but has already been released on bail.
Due to his position at several facilities, detectives say they are still looking for any other possible alleged victims of Dr. Singh's.
The next court date for Dr. Singh is scheduled for Aug. 17.
