Luis Figueroa-Vasquez is not a dentist

[Special2bme]

http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo35/Special2bme/45876019.jpgA man who touted himself as a traveling dentist, but who is not licensed to practice in Florida, was arrested Sunday after being accused of inappropriately touching a woman.

Luis Figueroa Vasquez, 46, was arrested by Osceola County deputies on a count of attempted sexual battery. Additional charges are pending, said sheriff's spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain.

On March 26, a woman told Osceola County detectives Vasquez came to her home at the Cobblestone Apartments to have dental work done. Lizasuain said Vasquez was referred to the woman through a family member.

The woman told detectives she was injected with what she thought was anesthesia, and after several minutes, Vasquez touch her inappropriately on numerous occasions.

Detectives brought Vasquez in for questioning, but he did not cooperate.

Vasquez, who reports a post office box address in Sarasota, keeps all of his equipment in a truck, including a chair and tools.

Lizasuain said detectives think there may be more local victims.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 407... or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

His looks give me the screaming hibby jibbies! Who the hell is going to see a dentist who comes to your home that brings a chair and tools. HELLO!

A door-to-door dentist is accused of doing much more than pulling teeth. Deputies say he groped a female patient in Osceola County after he gave her drugs.

It does not appear that Luis Figueroa-Vasquez is even a licensed dentist and cops say he didn't act like one either. He's accused of drugging one of his would-be patients and then taking advantage of her sexually.

Detectives want the public to take a good look at Figueroa-Vasquez's mug shot, because they believe there are more victims out there. The fake dentist was arrested over the weekend after a woman at the Cobblestone Apartments claimed he did more than fix her teeth.

"The victim believes he used some sort of anesthetic that would be used at a dentist's office, she's not sure. But he did use more than a few drugs and, once she was a little groggy, that's when she says he touched her inappropriately multiple times," said Twis Lizasuain, Osceola County Sheriff's Office.

Detectives say Figueroa-Vasquez worked out of a pick-up truck. Inside, they found plenty of dental equipment, including the drugs they say he used to take advantage of his patient. In the back of the truck, they found a makeshift dental chair that's more like a glorified lawn chair.

"He was referred to this area by one of the victim's friends. That's why we are looking for other victims both here and in Sarasota," Lizasuain said.

Figueroa-Vasquez told investigators he's a real dentist, but in Peru. There are no records yet to support that, but investigators say there's no way he should be practicing in Florida out of the back of a pick-up truck, even if he didn't assault patients.

Eyewitness News requested a jailhouse interview with Figueroa-Vasquez, but he declined. Investigators said he wouldn't answer their questions either, but they're confident the attempted rape charge will stick.

Ok...pick-up truck, glorified lawn chair, door-to-door dentist. Yeah, I'd let that guy work on my mouth. :confused2:

A door to door dentist??? How stupid can people be??? And did he have a mobile dentist office or did he come the door with a bag full of string to pull those teeth?? Or pliers?? What the hell????

I was imagining all kinds of gore when I read the title of this *cringe*

It's awful that he raped her but really, who the hell would even let him near their teeth? I'd rather have all of mine fall out than let a "dentist" like him have a go at them.

This reminds me of a guy with a creepy old van in the back alley who says he's a gynecologist. Falling for this is just about as stupid.

That's as far as I got before my first audible "WTF?"

You know, there are a lot of fucked up people out there, but I feel like a lot of them wouldn't be able to do what they do if there weren't a bunch of really fucking dumb ones to prey upon.
