Dr. Sanjeev Kumar , 44 , is charged with enticing four people to travel interstate to engage in illegal sexual activity.

Kumar is accused of performing unnecessary procedures on patients with re-used medical devices held under unsanitary conditions.

Kumar did not tell patients that he was re-using the devices, prosecutors said.

Kumar billed Medicare and Medicaid as if procedures were necessary and as if he had used a new or reprocessed device each time.
