COUNCIL BLUFFS – An Iowa doctor accused of sexually abusing his 5-year-old granddaughter has surrendered his medical license.
Dennis S. Jones, M.D., a 69-year-old Iowa-licensed physician who formerly practiced pediatrics in Council Bluffs, Iowa, entered into a combined Statement of Charges and Settlement Agreement on June 6, 2014. On May 20, 2013, Dr. Jones was charged with the crime of Felony B Second Degree Sexual Abuse for engaging in sex acts with a person under the age of twelve – a five year old female reported by authorities to be his granddaughter – in violation of Iowa Code section 709.3(2). Resolution of the charges is pending in court. The abuse allegedly began at some point after October of 2007 and lasted through May of 2013.
Court documents say that the young girl told her mother that she did not want to go to her grandfather’s house on May 12, 2013 because he “tortures” her. She told her mother that her grandfather “rubs” on her, and demonstrated the act to her mother, who subsequently contacted police.
Dr. Jones has not engaged in the practice of medicine since May 2013. Under the terms of the June 6, 2014, combined Statement of Charges and Settlement Agreement, the Board charged Dr. Jones with engaging in unethical or unprofessional conduct based on the pending criminal charges and Dr. Jones voluntarily surrendered his Iowa medical license.
SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

Did anyone see Bar Rescue over the weekend? The O-Bar in Council Bluffs was the only bar John Taffer walked out of and refused to help. He said the people didn’t deserve to be rescued because they were so trashy and messed up. Kind of warmed my heart having Iowans get their ass handed to them on National TV.
Sounds like a good one I’ll have to watch for that!
Sick S.O.B.
Snip and snip. Then make him eat them. What a bastard.
If you’re a doctor you just give up your license and that’s your punishment.
Ugh… is there anyone lower?
