WINCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - A doctor accused of hiding a camera in a bathroom at Winchester Hospital was arraigned on criminal charges last month, officials said.
Dr. Dennis Begos was arraigned Dec. 18 in Woburn District Court on a charge attempting to commit a crime for allegedly putting a hidden camera in a coat hook in the employee bathroom, according to Middlesex District Attorney spokeswoman Elizabeth Vlock.
In a statement, Kyle B. Reilly, director of communications for the hospital confirmed that Begos’ medical staff privileges were suspended in May following an investigation.
Begos resigned from his position at the hospital in August.
“According to the police, the device did not contain any images from the restroom and no patients or staff were impacted,” Reilly said.
Begos was released on personal recognizance and was ordered to stay away from the witness and continue to undergo mental health treatment.
He is due back in court on Jan. 30.
