Doctor charged with secretly taping woman
An Andover doctor is accused of secretly recording a woman he knows while she was in the shower and while they were having consensual sex, prosecutors said Friday at his arraignment.
Dr. Glenn Gutierrez, an internist who formerly was affiliated with Beth Israel Lahey Health, including Lahey Hospital and Medical Center and Winchester Hospital, was arraigned in Woburn District Court on two counts of unlawful wiretapping.
If convicted, Gutierrez faces up to five years in prison, up to 2-1/2 years in jail and/ or a fine of up to $10,000. His attorney, Ted Cranney, and Beth Israel Lahey Health declined to comment.
Judge Marianne Hinkle released Gutierrez on the condition that he stay away from the alleged victim. He is due back in court on June 24..
The alleged victim told police that she found secret audio and video recordings from 2011, 2012 and 2013 of her in the shower, getting dressed and having intercourse with him, according to court documents.
Gutierrez, 58, admitted that he had made the recordings but told her that he was deleting them, according to court documents.
“She stated that she made it clear to Glenn that she did not want an intimate relationship,” police said in their report, but she would wake up to find him fondling her.
“She stated that she would push Glenn away and tell him, ‘No,’ but Glenn would not stop,” the report said.
He also told her numerous times that due to his “medical expertise,” he would know how to get rid of a body and would dispose of it in the dumpster behind his office, court documents state.
On March 14, 2020, she was granted an emergency restraining order from
Woburn District Court, police said.
The woman’s attorney, Wendy Murphy, said that Gutierrez should have been charged with more serious counts, in addition to unlawful wiretapping.
“It is outrageous that he was not charged with some kind of sexual assault,” Murphy said. “At the very least, she is going to spend the rest of her life wondering where those videos are.”
Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office did not respond to calls seeking comment. The Herald’s policy is to not identify an alleged victim in such cases.
