An arrest warrant has been issued for a Houston-area dentist who has been charged with indecency with a child, officials said.

Deputy Thomas Gilliland, spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, said Joshua Robbins recently admitted to a clinical therapist that he had fondled a 16-year-old girl about two years ago.

Robbins, 37, has a dental practice in Montgomery County,

Therapists are required by law to report patients they believe have committed or will commit criminal offenses.

According the Sheriff's Office, Robbins fondled the girl when she was 14 while he was staying with her family in 2014.

Investigators found the girl after interviewing Robbins' employees and other witnesses, according to the Sheriff's Office. The girl did not initially have a clear memory of the incident because Robbins drugged her drink with Lorazepam, a powerful narcotic, according to authorities.

The girl eventually was able to recall the events of the night after intensive therapy sessions.

Deputies so far have not been able to find Robbins. His bond has been set at $30,000.

Anyone with information about Robbins' whereabouts is urged to contact the HCSO Crimes Against Children investigators at 713-830-3250.
