Roohallah Mobarez, Highlands Ranch dental assistant, charged with sex assault on four kids

The last thing a parent wants to worry about when sending a child to the dentist is that an assistant will do terribly inappropriate things while the young patient is drugged or defenseless. But that's one possible interpretation of info released thus far about Roohallah Mobarez, twenty, who's been arrested...

The last thing a parent wants to worry about when sending a child to the dentist is that an assistant will do terribly inappropriate things while the young patient is drugged or defenseless. But that's one possible interpretation of info released thus far about Roohallah Mobarez, twenty, who's been arrested for five counts of sexual assault on four different kids under twelve.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office fears the list of victims may be even longer.

"All we're saying at this point is that Mobarez was a dental assistant in the Highlands Ranch area, and that he resided in Castle Rock," notes Sergeant Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the office. "It's an ongoing investigation sealed by the court, and we're not releasing any information as to the relationships. But because of the nature of this crime, there may be additional victims."

Below, find the DougCo release about Mobarez's arrest, complete with a number for concerned parents to call, as well as a large version of his booking photos.
