Detectives with the Tucson Police Department’s Adult Sexual Assault Unit are actively investigating allegations of sexual abuse and assault involving 65-year-old Dr. Dung T. Nguyen, a physician who has been practicing on the east side of Tucson. The investigation has already led to multiple serious charges, and authorities believe there may be additional victims who have yet to come forward.
According to police reports, several individuals have come forward with disturbing accounts of inappropriate conduct by Dr. Nguyen during routine medical examinations. The complaints allege that the doctor engaged in behavior that was not only unethical but criminal, including inappropriate touching, fondling of patients’ breasts, and digital penetration of their genitalia. What makes these accusations particularly concerning is that these invasive acts reportedly took place during exams that were unrelated to the patients’ reproductive or intimate health.
The Tucson Police Department has confirmed that Dr. Nguyen has been formally indicted on multiple counts of sexual abuse and sexual assault. The charges reflect a pattern of behavior that has deeply affected those who have already come forward. Detectives are urging anyone who may have had a similar experience or possesses relevant information to immediately reach out to law enforcement.
“These are deeply troubling allegations,” said a spokesperson for the Tucson Police Department. “We are committed to fully investigating each report and ensuring that any victims receive the support and justice they deserve.”
Investigators are concerned that there could be additional victims who, for a variety of reasons—such as fear, shame, or uncertainty—have not yet reported their experiences. Victims of sexual abuse often face emotional and psychological barriers that prevent them from speaking out. Tucson police are encouraging potential victims to know they are not alone and that support services are available to guide them through the process.
If you or someone you know may have been victimized by Dr. Dung T. Nguyen, please contact the Tucson Police Department’s Adult Sexual Assault Unit at 520-589-8971 or call the anonymous tip line 88-CRIME. Authorities emphasize that all reports will be handled with the utmost care, confidentiality, and respect for the individuals involved.
Sexual abuse by a trusted medical professional is a violation of both the law and the sacred trust placed in the healthcare profession. As this investigation continues, the Tucson Police Department is determined to uncover the full scope of Dr. Nguyen’s actions and ensure accountability under the law.
The department is also working closely with victim advocacy groups to provide resources and support to those affected. Community awareness is critical in cases like this, and officials are asking the public to share this information to help reach anyone who may still be suffering in silence.
This investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
