The anesthesiologist charged with attempted sex trafficking of a child in federal court this week has been fired by Tufts Medical Center, the Boston hospital said.
After a back-and-forth conversation in which both sides asked if the other was a police officer, Quraishi agreed to pay $250 to have sex with one of the made-up girls, according to the criminal complaint, written by a special agent from Homeland Security Investigations.
"Ugh … man you're making things difficult - seems like a fun experience … just not in the mood to get arrested today," Quraishi texted, according to the court document. When he arrived at the hotel, he met with an undercover officer and paid $250 in exchange for a hotel keycard, officials said. Afterward, he was arrested, and agents verified that Quraishi had the phone they had been texting with by calling it.
"Dr. Quraishi firmly denies the allegations that have been made against him," attorneys from J.W. Carney, Jr. & Associates, representing Quraishi, said in a statement Thursday."He looks forward to contesting these claims in court where he is confident that he will be exonerated."This article tagged under:
