A Provo man has been charged with pretending to be a doctor conducting research for a “new medical device” and soliciting female participants on Craigslist whom he allegedly sexually assaulted.
Borzin Mottaghian, 34, was charged Tuesday in 4th District Court with 17 felony counts based on October encounters with three women, one of whom was an undercover police officer.
The first woman police know of who responded to Mottaghian’s advertisement met with him Oct. 18, court documents say. In email correspondence before the “appointment,” Mottaghian assured the woman that an engineer and doctor would be performing the tests.
