Dr Ranjith Ramasamy, a 45-year-old Indian-origin urologist, has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted students and said he returned voluntarily from Dubai to clear his name. He was arrested at Miami International Airport on August 20 and released on a $120,000 bond after appearing in court.
Ramasamy has been placed under house arrest and will stay with his wife and children in Sarasota. An arrest warrant was issued in October 2025 after three counts of sexual battery were filed against him. Three students told detectives that prostate examinations were unusually long and aggressive. Investigators said the procedures were medically unjustified and inconsistent with accepted standards. Ramasamy, a former University of Miami professor, said the allegations came from disgruntled university members. He said he never performed unnecessary procedures or sexually assaulted anyone.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The case now moves through two separate tracks. In the criminal case, prosecutors must establish the alleged conduct beyond reasonable doubt, while the defence can challenge the students’ accounts and the medical basis for the examinations. A court will also decide whether the bond and house-arrest conditions should continue as proceedings advance. Separately, Florida’s medical licensing authorities can review professional conduct independently of the criminal case. The next concrete signal will be the defendant’s forthcoming court hearings and any decision on his pre-trial restrictions.
