Dr. Dilip K. Roy
FULTON, NY – This morning (April 21) former Fulton doctor, Dilip K. Roy accepted a plea agreement alongside his attorney in front of Oswego County Court Judge, Donald Todd.
Originally indicted on two counts of rape in the third degree, Roy had previously plead not guilty to the charges.
Today, Roy withdrew his previous plea and entered a guilty plea to a lesser count of sexual misconduct, a class A misdemeanor.
The charges stem from a May 2015 arrest after a former patient reported that she was subjected to unwanted sexual intercourse at Roy’s family medical practice, Fast Care Family Medical located at 941 S. First St. in the town of Volney.
Within his plea agreement, Roy faces up to 30 days in Oswego County Correctional Facility, six years of probation under the supervision of the sex offender management court, more than $1,000 worth of fees and will be required to register as a sex offender.
Roy, appearing hesitant in his response, claimed he had no faith in the judicial system and said he had seen people tell lies under oath.
And despite his admittance to a four month treatment at Hutchings Psychiatric Center for a mental condition requiring medication, Roy affirmed he was aware and understanding of the decision he was making and the conditions to the agreement.
As proposed by the District Attorney’s office, in cooperation of the victim who was in favor of the proposition, the plea agreement also provided resolution to two of Roy’s pending charges in the town of Volney.
Roy will plead guilty in Volney to harassment violation stemming from another former patient’s report of inappropriate touching in a sexual manner.
One further charge derived in the county of Onondaga due to violation of a protection order remains pending as it will be resolved in the county the charge was given.
Judge Todd also ordered new orders of protection to be put in place immediately for the victim and one witness.
After a hesitant guilty plea was uttered by Roy, Judge Todd scheduled sentencing for June 27.

Reading only from this article, I must of missed something. There was enough evidence to indite on 2 counts or Rape in the 3rd degree against this so called “Man”. But because of a Plea Deal which I know happens everyday, he now is allowed to Plea guilty to Sexual Misconduct? Yes, there is a slap on the wrist conditions that goes along with that “plea deal” but what about the Women Raped and Assaulted? What are the courts or the ” alleged” Rapist doing for them? Looks like the Guilty is the winner and assaulted is again assaulted. How is that fair. Shame on you all that had anything to do with a so called “Plea Deal”. “First Do No Harm”
So Sad, welcome to Oswego County where sentences for (people like this) are less than a typical shoplifter.
The reason the sentence is somewhat light is he did not physically rape these girls, it’s automatic rape by law for sleeping with a patient,
He lost his license to practice and will definitely be facing more charges after he appears in two other courts! I call it a relationship with his mistresses gone bad! They didn’t get what they wanted so in turn retaliated! Sick world we live in ! Both parties in this situation are messed up!
Sad, ridiculous, and unfair. Quite a deal! What’s with plea deal crap?
I am hoping that he had to surrender his license to practice medicine, as well. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior.
Punishment is for the victim once again! Plea deal my butt. He is a medical Dr that we put our trust and faith in. He took an oath and I don’t know anywhere in it where it states “feel free to rape, and assault your patience. You can get away with it” He should not be treated any different then you or I.
I have to say something. That sentence is light. I worked in the office at 941 South First Street, when he first came in and wanted his billing and his physical place of business changed to 941 South First Street. There were problems with his attitude and ability to speak his intentions. I believe his ability to omit information is just as illegal as lying.
Most people would say that I am just an irate ex-employee. I did turn him into DOL for some issues he caused during his employment at 941 South First Street.
If he was going to treat his staff poorly, I did not want to stay around to see how he was treating his patients.
He had the health care of many people in the palm of his hand.
I think the sentence is too light. I have seen people go to prison for less than this. Just because he was a doctor and he had the money. I guess money pays for everything.
