Miami Cosmetic Doctor Arrested on Sexual Battery Charges in Alleged Assault of Sedated Patient

Police cite a video the patient found on her phone as key evidence in the case.

Overview

  • Ronald Freedman DeMeo, 63, was taken into custody Wednesday at his Miami office at 2801 SW 3rd Ave. around 8:50 p.m., according to an arrest report.
  • He is charged with three counts of sexual battery on a physically helpless victim, CBS Miami reported from the arrest report.
  • The incident allegedly occurred on Oct. 25, 2025, during a follow-up cosmetic visit after the patient received nitrous oxide and prescribed medication and was offered wine, the report states.
  • Days later, the woman found a recording on her phone that an investigating officer reviewed, confirming both identities and non-consensual sexual acts, per the arrest report.
  • At a bond hearing, DeMeo’s attorney claimed the encounter was consensual and alleged a $10 million demand by the woman, while Miami police asked anyone with similar experiences to contact investigators.
