A 63-year-old medical doctor in western Pennsylvania is accused of sexually assaulting an unconscious nurse in her home after she invited him to stay because he was too intoxicated to drive home, TribLive.com is reporting.

The suspect is Entezam Asim Sahovic of Pittsburgh, a doctor at West Penn Hospital. He is charged with sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault, TribLive reports, citing court records.

Details from TribLive.com:

According to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday, Sahovic invited the woman, a nurse with whom he works, to dinner Sept. 4. The woman told police Sahovic offered to drive her home, and she realized his driving was impaired.

Because Sahovic was drunk, the woman offered to let him spend the night at her home so he would not have to drive, police said.

Once there, police said, Sahovic repeatedly told the woman, "I insist on you sleeping with me." Each time, she said "no."

She told police she went to bed alone, still wearing her dress, and fell asleep. According to the complaint, she awoke to find Sahovic molesting her. She asked him to stop several times and pushed him away, police said, and when he did stop, she passed out from a combination of the alcohol and stress.

She awoke the next morning to find evidence that she had been sexually assaulted.

The victim told police Sahovic had previously "professed his love for her." She rejected him romantically, but they agreed to remain friends, according to the complaint.
