Un Falso Ginecólogo Estadounidense

The message board of the Buenos Aires expat group BANewcomers is all atwitter about Len Schwartz (being arrested by Good King Wencelaus, right), a supposed newbie visitor who used the board to find apartments and turned out to be--a fugitive sex abuser! Apparently (and I say apparently so as not to be libelous), while in the U.S. Señor Schwartz pretended to be a fake gynecologist in order to touch women (You wouldn't think a guy would use such an obvious ruse to get in a girl's pants, would you? Well, apparently Len would). In 2001 he was sentenced to nine years in prison in New Jersey for sexual abuse of women and minors and for impersonating a medical doctor. In February he was given a conditional release but then broke the rules of the release and decided to come here, to scenic Buenos Aires, and pretend he was with Doctors Without Borders (classy, Len).

Once here, he pestered people for apartment rentals on BANewcomers and, it seems, got a little creepy on one expat. According to Holly at B.A. blog Tango in her eyes, he got a little too excited about helping her get over a cold:

This person emailed me extending his offer help me with my medical needs, because my "cold" just may turn into a bronchical infection. He was just a bit "too" interested in helping me. And then when he mentioned the method of ingestion of the antibiotics he was going to perscribe, the ALARMS really went CODE RED!

Len is now in jail awaiting extradition to the U.S. His NJ sex offender registration is here. First mafiosos and Serbian war criminals, and now this.
