Doctor Sentenced for Sex Abuse USA (wgvu) - DETROIT (AP) - A Belleville doctor has been sentenced to three
to 15 years in prison for fondling a female patient.
Wayne County Circuit Court Judge James Callahan sentenced Joseph
T. Paupore (pow-pour-EE') on one count of second-degree criminal
sexual conduct on Friday. A jury found him guilty last month.
Paupore was convicted on four counts of fourth-degree criminal
sexual conduct in June. He was sentenced to one year in jail and
five years' probation.
Two additional sex-abuse cases against Paupore have been
dismissed because he would not be sentenced to more jail time if
found guilty.
Paupore's medical license was suspended in February.
A message seeking comment was left Monday for Paupore's
attorney, Rolland Sizemore III.
