Probation for ex-VA hospital doc who admitted fondling women June 23, 2021 at 4:11 pm
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) A former physician at a West Virginia’s veterans hospital was sentenced to probation Wednesday after pleading guilty to touching two female staffer’s breasts without permission.
The sentencing of Dr. Kenneth C. Ramdat, 65, of Silver Spring, Maryland, comes a month after a former nursing assistant at the Louis A. Johnson VA Hospital in Clarksburg was sentenced to seven consecutive life terms for giving seven elderly veterans fatal injections of insulin.
Prosecutors said the separate incidents involving Ramdat occurred as he hugged the women in 2019. He pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of simple assault. A U.S. magistrate judge then followed the prosecution’s recommendation and sentenced him to a year’s probation, The Exponent Telegram reported.

Reta Mays
Former nursing assistant Reta Mays, now sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for killing at least eight patients at a VA hospital, may serve that time at the only comprehensive medical facility for female federal prisoners.
Mays, 46, has a request to be assigned to the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, which is a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, for female inmates with special medical and mental health needs.
“That means that women from all security and custody levels with different medical and psychiatric conditions can be and are housed there.” said Gordon Zilberman, a San Diego-based forensic psychologist who evaluated offenders and provided mental health services for decades in prisons.
