FORT LAUDERDALE — A Coconut Creek man accused of posing as a doctor and offering free door-to-door breast exams has reached a deal with prosecutors, lawyers told a Broward judge on Tuesday.
Phillip Winikoff, 81, was accused in April 2006 of carrying on the ruse with women at an apartment complex in the 3200 block of Northwest 40 Street in Lauderdale Lakes. Investigators said two women took Winikoff up on the offer, allowed him into their apartments and realized something was amiss only after the exams started.
Winikoff was charged with three counts of sexual battery, two counts of practicing medicine without a license, two counts of simple battery, and one count of using the title of doctor without a license.
If tried and convicted, he could have been sentenced to more than 45 years in prison for the sexual battery charges and another 10 years for practicing medicine without a license.
At the time of Winikoff's arrest, the Broward Sheriff's Office said he carried a little black bag to lend credibility to his claim of being a doctor. The first victim, 36 at the time, told detectives he started the exam by fondling her breasts, and she knew something was wrong when his hands wandered elsewhere.
By the time the victim called 911, Winikoff had already found a second victim, the sheriff's office said.
I've got a lot of comments about this story. First, holy shit, this guy is fast. He's 81 and found another victim by the time the cops arrived. Either this guy is one efficient pseudo-physician, or the second victim is a skankwhore looking for a little game of in-out, if you know what I mean. When you're 81 and the women only suspect something is up when a stranger's hand wanders elsewhere during the exam. WTF? This should hardly even be a crime. If these women are dumb enough to let a strange man in their home to feel their breasts, they almost get what they deserve. I don't care if he was scrubbed, masked and read to walk in an OR, you don't let strange men in your house and let them fondle your boobs and God only knows what else...unless it's been a while, apparently. October is Brest cancer Awareness month. I wonder when pap smear awareness month is because there's gonna be a lot of guys moving to Ft Lauderdale. Who's crazier here, the wanna be doctor, or the women getting breast exams with their legs spread in their apartments? It's a toss up.
