He assaulted them while under anesthesia
A dentist in DC has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting five of his male patients and one male employee between 2010 and 2014, according to a report in The Washington Blade and Washington Post.
In a 13-page plea bargain agreement that’s been filed by prosecutors in DC’s Superior Court, Dr. Bilal Ahmed, 44, who is married and has six children, admitted that he had fondled the private parts of the five male patients after giving them nitrous oxide anesthesia through a facemask.
As reported in the Blade:
“Ahmed, whose D.C. dental license was suspended in 2014, asked four of the five patients whom he admitted to sexually assaulting “intrusive and inappropriate questions” about their personal life, including their sexual orientation, shortly before administering the nitrous oxide anesthesia, the plea agreement states. It says the incidents took place while the patients were alone with Ahmed in a procedure room, according to the plea agreement.

Among the charges to which he pleaded guilty were second-degree sexual abuse of a patient with aggravating circumstances, first-degree sexual abuse of a patient with aggravating circumstances, and simple assault.”
The simple assault charge apparently involved an admission that he inappropriately touched a second male employee (more than once) in a sexually suggestive way on his upper torso after he had been asked to stop.
Per the Blade:
“After being administered nitrous oxide, K.E. fell asleep,” the plea document says in describing Ahmed’s actions toward one of the patients identified only by his initials. “When he awoke, the defendant’s pants and underwear were down to the defendant’s feet,” the document says. “The defendant was masturbating in front of K.E. The defendant took K.E.’s hand and placed it on the defendant’s pen–.”
The Blade’s reporting goes on to share:
“The defendant was masturbating in front of K.E. The defendant took K.E.’s hand and placed it on the defendant’s penis.”
The document adds, “The defendant then unzipped K.E.’s pants and placed his own hand on K.E.’s unclothed penis. The defendant continued to masturbate himself until he (the defendant) ejaculated,” the plea document says.”

In exchange for the guilty plea prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office agreed to drop several additional charges against Ahmed handed down by a Superior Court grand jury in a multi-count indictment last October.
During the court hearing, the judge scheduled a sentencing hearing for Dr. Ahmed on Aug. 10. He faces a possible maximum sentence of 15 years in prison for First Degree Sexual Abuse plus other charges he has pleaded guilty to.
