Queens dentist charged with sexually abusing teen patient A Rego Park dentist has been charged with sexually abusing one of his female patients. The defendant, Bedros Yavru-Sakuk, 62, an Edgewater, New Jersey resident, allegedly touched the 19-year old woman inappropriately over her clothing repeatedly without her consent, said the district attorney’s office. The abuse allegedly took place between September 2012 and April 2013. “The charges in this case are disturbing,” said District Attorney Richard A. Brown. “The defendant is accused of taking advantage of his position of power and abusing his patient while he was supposed to be treating her. This is a serious breach of trust and cannot go unpunished.” Yavru-Sakuk was arraigned and released. He is set to return to court on June 20. He faces up to three months in jail if convicted. -BY ROSA KIM BY MAGGIE HAYES [email protected] Congressmember Gregory Meeks’ Washington, D.C. office was temporarily shut down after a staffer found a suspicious letter on Monday, April 29. The letter contained a powdery substance, according to a Meeks staffer, and was found while another worker was sorting the mail. The congressmember was not there at the time, and was informed of the incident. The D.C. staff was quarantined and the Rayburn House office was closed. The staff and other personnel were directed to avoid the area until informed otherwise. After U.S. Capitol Police investigated the matter, they determined the substance was not deadly, said police, and the office was reopened.
