Winter Park Doctor Pleads Guilty To Sexual Battery

Dr. Thomas Hunter said Tuesday, he still believes the teenager consented. He pled guilty in court Tuesday, but told the judge he's doing it because it's in his best interest. In other words, he's saying he's guilty and not guilty at the same time.

Dr. Hunter says he thought the 19-year-old was consenting, even though the teenager did not say a word. The incident happened hours after a Halloween party at an Orlando house.

The teenager says he passed out after having eight drinks in an hour and a half and, when he woke, he found Dr. Hunter, whom he had never seen before, sexually assaulting him.

Investigators say, during a tape-recorded phone conversation, Hunter admitted the teen's eyes never opened.

But Tuesday, the Winter Park plastic surgeon gave us a different story.

"Those are not the facts," he told us.

"Are you saying he did look at you now?" Channel 9 asked.

"Yes, there was," he said.

Even Dr. Hunter admits he never talked to the teenager before the incident.

Hunter has to give up his license to practice medicine, because he pled guilt. And, depending on what the judge decides in two weeks when he's sentenced, he may have to give up his license for good.
