Former UMMC doctor indicted on sex crime charges

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The Mississippi Attorney General’s Office is seeking additional information on a case involving a former Mississippi doctor.

According to Attorney General Lynn Fitch (R-Miss.), Dr. Mehul Dixit was indicted on August 11, 2025, by a Hinds County Grand Jury on 13 counts of gratification of lust of a vulnerable person and 12 counts of sexual battery of a vulnerable person. The indictment is centered on clinical visits that occurred from 2013-2023.

In May 2023, Dixit was accused of fondling teenage patients. According to the court, Dixit was ordered not to have contact with the victim or the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). He was also ordered to wear an ankle monitor.

Dixit, who had been practicing pediatric nephrology at UMMC in Jackson, was also ordered to surrender his passport. The State Board of Medical Licensure also suspended his license.

Documents from the medical board show two teenage girls reported that Dixit touched them inappropriately with an ungloved hand during exams at UMMC. The board said its investigators found a third teenager who filed a similar complaint in Florida in 2016.

In 2023, Dixit’s attorney said the hospital fired him, and he agreed to quit practicing medicine.

Anyone with information about the case can contact the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office at medicaidfraud@ago.ms.gov and 800-852-8341.
