Is this
doctor related to Anthony Weiner?
A bikini
model claims her doctor pestered her with sexual advances for three years.
Wanda Arena,
42, from New York City, alleges orthopedist Dr Mark Sherman, sent her a barrage
of 'filthy' text messages, including one exposing himself.
Dr. Mark
Sherman allegedly targeted Arena, a widow who lost her husband in the 9/11
attacks, after taking her phone number from a patient file when she came to him
for surgery on a torn knee ligament in 2009, according to a lawsuit she filed.
Arena says that
for three years Sherman, a high-profile surgeon who led a team of local doctors
to Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake, harassed her with random phone
calls and romantic poems sent by text reported the New York Daily News.
But the
mother of two, who is now pregnant with a third child was horrified when he
allegedly sent her a photo of his genitals one night in October with the
message 'Where r u?'
He then
followed the lewd photo up with four phone calls that Arena ignored, according
to a draft of the lawsuit.
'It kind of
enraged me and scared me at the same time,' Arena told the Daily News. 'Who
does that?'
A secretary
at Dr Sherman's medical practice, Staten Island Orthopedics & Sports
Medicine, told MailOnline no one would comment on the Arena's claims.
Arena who
lost her husband Louis, a New York firefighter, in the terrorist attack at the
World Trade Center, replied with outrage: 'Your(sic) a filthy animal and don’t
ever text me again or I’ll go to the police.'
Sherman who
was divorced about a year ago and lives alone, according to a woman who
answered the door at his Staten Island home, replied 'OK. Sorry,' the Daily
News reports.
