Broward Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a 76-year-old man Thursday who they say was going door-to-door in a Lauderdale Lakes neighborhood offering free breast exams.
Two women accepted the exams, BSO officials said.
At about 9 a.m., BSO investigators say, Philip Winikoff drove to an apartment complex near the 3200 block of Northwest 40th Street. Carrying a black ''doctor's'' bag, he walked up to the building and told a 36-year-old woman that he was in the neighborhood offering free breast exams.
The woman let Winikoff, of Coconut Creek, into her apartment and the phony doctor began the exam. The woman told police that after Winikoff touched her breasts, he moved his hand to her genitals and further assaulted her. Realizing he was not a doctor, she called BSO, but Winikoff had already left her apartment and found another victim; a 33-year-old woman in the same complex.
Deputies found Winikoff on Northwest 40th Street and arrested him.
Investigators say the second victim told them a similar story -- that Winikoff presented himself as a doctor and was in the area giving free breast exams. Again, the woman let Winikoff into her apartment and again, he sexually assaulted her.
Investigators believe Winikoff has likely victimized other women who may be embarrassed about coming forward. They are asking that anyone with information about Winikoff call Detective Joe Harris of the BSO Sex Crimes Unit at 954-321-4240.

They call South Florida "Gods Waiting Room" but it seems that this retiree found something to do while waiting to die. I'm surprised these women didn't just up and die when they found out the doctor was making house calls.
How come you never hear of women wandering around giving free vastectomy exams?

I had an ederly woman come to my house and ask if I wanted a free prostrate exam.
Other than the hospital staff, you're all I've told.
I don't know if they believed that's how the G.I. Joe action figure got up there.
Next time I ask for ID.
Heeee Heeee thanks for sharing. Was it an old school sized GI Joe or one of the new smaller ones?
