Some of the comments that have appeared on Watch Dog lately have related a San Mateo case against Dr. William Ayres, who is being charged with molesting young patients. Because not everyone has followed this case closely, Watch Dog was asked to provide some background...so, here we go.
Background resources:
2005: Chronicle article about a 'settlement' in a charge against Ayres.
2007: A series of articles from the Chronicle that provide good background on this issue.

2007 story that ran in the International Herald Tribune from the AP.
And more recently, the trial is being delayed because Ayres is being treated for prostate cancer.
A blog is covering this issue closely.

Thanks, Watchdog. Ayres has recovered from cancer and the trial is slated for January, 2009. It all depends on the availablity of Ayres' lawyer, who is also working on the Phil Spector murder re-trial which is just gearing up now.
Also, a good blog is www.williamayreswatch.blogspot.com
As a patient and victom of Ayers (can't really call him a doctor) in 1973,74 and being slated to be a witness against him in the civil suit till it was settled just prior to the trial I am interested in when the first complaint was made to the authorities. I was sent to him by my father who was my pediatrician as was some of the other victoms I was wondering if when a complaint of this type is reported isn't there something in place that local pediatricians would be informed of these allegations. Since most children are recommended to psychiatrists by other M.D.'s is would seem that something like this should be in place. If not why.

By the way anyone who doubts his guilt needs to wake up and smell the coffee. I hope that I am contacted to testify against him.
