Evansville physician accused of sexually touching women will remain without medical license

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Attorney General Todd Rokita's office has announced an Evansville physician accused of sexually touching five women during their appointments will remain without his medical license following the reversal of a lower court's decision to restore it. AG Rokita's office says it first brought charges against the medical license of Dr. James Jenison, who practiced in Evansville, in 2022. Convicted fraudster sentenced to 10 years, ordered to pay nearly $2M 'From the moment we saw the evidence, we fought for the revocation of this doctor's license,' Attorney General Rokita said. 'Dr. Jenison's actions violated a sacred trust, and our office stood up for Hoosier women by working to prevent him from having the opportunity to assault more patients in the future.' Officials say in February 2023, the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana revoked Dr. Jenison's medical license following a hearing, which concluded that he had allegedly inappropriately touched five women while providing them with medical services. The board also found that Dr. Jenison allegedly prescribed controlled substances without an active controlled substances registration and allegedly committed fraud or material deception in order to obtain a license to practice medicine. Officials say in May 2024, a trial court found that the state of Indiana had not met the burden required to result in the revocation of Dr. Jenison's license, but the Indiana Court of Appeals changed this on February 26, by ordering that the trial court's decision be reversed.

In concluding otherwise, the trial court improperly reweighed the evidence and judged the credibility of witnesses.' AG Rokita's office says the appeals court also upheld the State's findings pertaining to prescribing controlled substances and engaging in fraud. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
