Two more patients come forward after dentist arrested for sexual abuse
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- Following the arrest of a local dentist on charges that he inappropriately touched several patients, two more alleged victims have come forward.

State Police arrested Dr. Frank Izzo when he arrived at his office on Broadway in Rotterdam Tuesday morning. He was charged with two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, three counts of third-degree sexual abuse and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The charges stem from allegations that he inappropriately touched several teenagers and a woman in her twenties while they were under his care.

State Police said they believe there are more victims. Parents of any teenage female patients are asked to talk to their daughters about their appointments with Dr. Izzo.

Contact State Police in Princetown at (518) 630-1715 or the main dispatch at (518) 630-1700.
