A doctor in Midland has been charged after allegedly sexually assaulting a child.

Noah Alexander Wempe, 45, was arrested on an Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child charge on March 3rd.

According to an arrest affidavit, officers with the Midland Police Department were notified on February 27th of a possible sexual assault of a child younger than 14.

The complainant told police that a man, identified as Wempe, had sexually assaulted a child.

The person who reported the incident gave police a letter allegedly written by Wempe which stated that he was sorry for the incident, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit states that text messages and statements from the victim also referenced the alleged assault.

According to the Texas State Medical Board, Wempe has been practicing with a full medical license since 2004. He is last listed as a diagnostic radiologist at a local hospital.

A hospital spokesperson tells CBS 7 that he resigned in good standing on March 2nd.

Neither his position nor the hospital is mentioned in the arrest affidavit.

Wempe is currently out of jail on a $50,000 bond.

CBS 7 reached Wempe briefly by phone, who stated “I have nothing to say,” before hanging up.

After the story was originally published, Wempe's attorney reached out to say that he will fight the charge.

"He has three attorneys, and we are going to fight the allegations," said Sara Spector.

Spector says that Wempe will not be practicing as the case moves forward and notes that he has not yet been indicted.
