The license of a Towson psychiatrist has been permanently revoked after a state health board found him guilty of allegations that he demonstrated “immoral conduct” with boys in his care.
The March 26 order of the Maryland Board of Physicians was agreed with by the disciplined psychiatrist, Miguel Frontera, who practices at Clinical Associates, in the 500 block of Fairmount Avenue.
Frontera signed a statement agreeing to the license revocation.
The Baltimore County Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit had forwarded information to the state board about Frontera — who has had a license to practice medicine in Maryland since 1988 — after the unit received allegations that Frontera had abused two boys in his office during exams, the state board said.
The first police report, filed in 2006, involved allegations of “possible sexual abuse” that occurred in 2000 and 2001, the state board said.
In that case, a 17-year-old high school student told a crisis interventionist at a Baltimore County high school that Frontera “repeatedly molested him during treatment visits when he was 11 or 12 years old,” according to the board report.
The second police report, filed last March by the parent of a 16-year-old boy, involved “possible sexual abuse” in 2003, when the boy was 10, the board said. In that case, Frontera is accused of molesting the boy during a physical exam, according to the board.
In both cases, the boys — who visited the psychiatrist’s office for treatment for suspected attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — allege Frontera made them change into hospital gowns so he could examine their genitals, according to the board.
The board said the patients did not know each other and had not communicated with one another about their experiences.
Frontera allegedly told police that he realized the examinations of the boys he conducted were not necessary and that he was “very out of the mainstream of psychiatry,” according to the board.
Police declined to bring charges against Frontera, but then referred the cases to the state board.

Why stories like this one are not reported by media? If a little girls where the victims of such abuse we would all hear about it.
