Pediatrician Resigns From His Charity Under Cloud of Abuse Allegations
Melvin D. Levine, a pediatrician who is accused of molesting five boys who were his patients, has resigned from All Kinds of Minds, a nonprofit group in Durham, N.C., that he founded in 1995 to train teachers to help children with learning disabilities, reports The New York Times.
Dr. Levine has denied ever touching a patient sexually, and no criminal charges have been filed, although his five accusers have filed lawsuits.
Mary-Dean Barringer, the chief executive of the group, says Dr. Levine was not involved in the day-to-day operations of the group and that donations have remained strong despite the scandal.
