The arraignment of Premier Ewart Brown's son for 19 felony charges of sexual molestation was yesterday adjourned until August 7.

But the Los Angeles Superior Court was told that seven more alleged victims of Dr. Kevin Brown have come forward.

Dr. Brown was remanded in custody on $4 million bail after facing 19 felony counts, including a lewd act on a 15-year-old, rape, sexual battery by fraud and sexual exploitation in the court yesterday. These alleged assaults occurred between November 6, 2006, and May 31, 2008. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in state prison.

Deputy District Attorney with the Sex Crimes Division Ann Marie Wise also told the court that seven more alleged victims had come forward and that they would be investigating these claims.

The Los Angeles Times reported on its website yesterday that Ms Wise told the court that at least three more cases are being prepared against Dr. Brown, said in court, and four other patients have come forward and will be interviewed by investigators.

The newspaper quoted Ms Wise saying that at least one of the alleged new incidents occurred outside of Brown's medical office when he went to the home of a female patient in Alhambra and allegedly raped her. The judge, Commissioner Henry Hall also ordered Brown to disclose the sources of funds if he made bail because of an ongoing investigation into Brown's involvement in healthcare fraud schemes.

During the same session yesterday the California Medical Board also filed an application to revoke or suspend Brown's medical licence. That application will also be heard on August 7.

Trouble started for Dr. Brown on July 8 this year when he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an 18-year-old patient in June last year and an undercover officer who posed as a patient this year. Both of these alleged assaults are said to have happened at the general practitioner's Crenshaw Boulevard office in Los Angeles and Dr. Brown was bailed for $50,000.

After he was bailed, a further six female patients came forward alleging similar offences and Dr. Brown was arrested for a second time and was remanded on $4 million bail.

His bail was increased following the DA's information that he was the Premier of Bermuda's son and could be a flight risk. According to Ms Wise, both cases could be combined at a later date.

Dr. Brown is also under investigation for "multiple healthcare fraud schemes and over-prescription of Oxycodone".

He has not been charged with these offences, though they are now the reason for Commissioner Hall to require Brown to disclose his finances if he makes bail.

State medical fraud investigators filed an affidavit in Los Angeles County Superior Court in connection with the healthcare fraud and it also reported that the state Department of Justice suspects Dr. Brown of overprescribing painkillers.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday that Special Agent J. Timothy Fives of the state Medical Fraud and Elder Abuse unit, discovered Dr. Brown's name during a larger investigation of clinics run by people of Russian and Armenian descent.

Dr. Brown attracted controversy earlier this year when he organised a charity fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion to which his father, the Premier, donated three all-expense paid trips to Bermuda in conjunction with Elbow Beach to this effort.

The charity event, which was held in May, was for Dr. Kevin Brown's charity the Urban Health Institute of Los Angeles, which is run out of the same building as his practice at the Crenshaw Boulevard office in Los Angeles.
