Pennsylvania dentist pleads guilty to simple assault after patient inappropriately touched

PAOLI, Pa. (WHTM) — A Pennsylvania dentist pleaded guilty Friday to simple assault after being accused of groping a patient.

James Godorecci, of Wayne, pleaded guilty to simple assault by physical menace, the Chester County District Attorney’s Office said.

He was charged in relation to an incident on Jan. 3, 2024, at Main Line Dental Aesthetics in Paoli. A patient was receiving treatment, and Godorecci was accused of groping the woman.

“The victim showed great courage coming forward,” District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said. “No one should go in for medical treatment and get assaulted by the very person who is supposed to help them.”

The incident was investigated by the Tredyffrin Township Police Department.
