LOS ANGELES – A physician charged with molesting eight patients is under investigation in seven more possible cases, a prosecutor said Wednesday at a hearing for the doctor, who is the son of Bermuda's premier.

Police have interviewed three of the new possible victims and four others have come forward in recent days, Deputy District Attorney Ann Marie Wise told Superior Court Commissioner Henry Hall.

Hall ordered Dr. Kevin Antario Brown, 37, held in lieu of $4 million bail. Wise said the high bail was requested because they believe Brown is a flight risk.

Hall postponed the arraignment of Brown, whose father is Bermuda Premier Ewart Brown, to Aug. 7.

A telephone message seeking comment was left at the office of one of Brown's attorneys, Keith Bowman.

Brown was arrested July 8 at his Los Angeles home and was initially charged with sexually molesting a female patient and a female undercover police officer who posed as a patient.

After six more alleged victims came forward, Brown was additionally charged with 19 more felony counts, including a lewd act on a 15-year-old child, rape, sexual battery by fraud and sexual exploitation.

The existing cases will eventually be consolidated.

If convicted, Brown would face up to 25 years in state prison, the district attorney's office said.

Brown practices medicine at Crenshaw Expo Medical Center.
