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 [1]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 [2]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 [3]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.
