A man who pretended to be a doctor allegedly groped a job applicant’s breasts during a job interview to work at his practice.

Police say Howard Harlib set himself up as a fake doctor and advertised for a nursing assistant to work with him.

The 62-year-old apparently advertised himself as ‘Dr Allen’ and Antonia Pascal applied for the role.

She told police in Florida that Harlib began to ask her highly inappropriate questions, telling her: “Sometimes a patient can touch your breasts. Is that OK?”

Pascal was concerned by the questions but turned up for the interview at Harlib’s house, where he is alleged to have touched the her breasts.



She also claimed that he pushed a thermometer between her buttocks over her clothing, telling her that it was the best way to take a temperature rectally.

Harlib also apparently asked whether Pascal’s 20-year-old daughter would sometimes fill in for her when she was not there.

Pascal recorded part of the interview and handed it over to police following the interview and Harlib was arrested on suspicion of battery and practicing medicine without a license.

Harlib, who is on probation for the same charges from a previous incident, claims he only touched Pascal’s arms.
