Sex crimes send doctor to prison

An elderly doctor in Hartwell, Georgia may no longer maintain office hours.  A jury this month found Dr. Timothy Beeson guilty of aggravated sexual battery, child molestation, and sexual battery of a minor.  Beeson is 74 years old, and Lake Hartwell Radio WLHR reports the court is requiring a 25-year prison sentence, with no parole possible.  Beeson maintained an office in Hartwell for 35 years and practiced family medicine, obstetrics, and gynecology.  He surrendered to authorities at Flagstaff, Arizona in 2018, after his wife reported him missing.
