Arrested the moment he stepped off a plane at Miami International Airport, Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy found himself at the center of a storm. The 45-year-old award-winning urologist and former University of Miami professor didn't try to hide. He flew back from Dubai, where he had been practicing, specifically to face three counts of sexual battery and clear his name.
Handcuffed at 10:45 PM, he walked out of a bond hearing the next day after posting a $120,000 bond. Right now, he is under house arrest in Sarasota with his family, wearing a GPS ankle monitor, and vehemently denying every single accusation.
What the Charges Actually Claim
The legal trouble didn't appear overnight. An arrest warrant was filed against Ramasamy back in October 2025, stemming from claims made by three students.
According to Miami police and court documents, the students alleged that Ramasamy diagnosed them with various conditions that required physical examinations. Specifically, investigators claim he performed prostate exams that went well beyond standard medical care. Detectives assert these procedures were lengthy, aggressive, performed entirely off-hours, and completely unjustified by any real medical necessity.
Police statements indicate that after digging deeper, they spoke with up to six individuals sharing similar stories. Investigators maintain the exams fell far outside acceptable medical practices.
The Defense and the Dubai Return
Ramasamy isn't backing down. In direct public statements, he stated flatly, "I never performed any unnecessary medical procedure. I never assaulted anyone. I never sexually assaulted anyone, never."
His legal strategy centers on a narrative of institutional retaliation. Ramasamy claims the entire case stems from disgruntled members within the university community. According to his timeline, he relocated to Dubai in 2024 before formal criminal charges materialized, leaving his position in good standing while retaining an active Florida medical license.
He insists that institutional records from the University of Miami would clear him, but alleges the administration failed to provide him access to those crucial documents.
What Happens Next in the Legal Process
Right now, the conditions of Ramasamy's release are strict. He must maintain zero contact with the alleged victims and remain confined to his home under GPS surveillance while awaiting further court dates.
The defense faces a steep hill to prove a conspiracy among multiple students, while prosecutors must substantiate claims that a respected medical professional weaponized his practice. As the legal machine grinds forward, the high-profile case highlights the complex intersection of institutional power, academic mentorship, and criminal accusations in modern medicine.
