MIAMI (April 20) - A 76-year-old man claiming to be a doctor went door-to-door in a Florida neighborhood offering free breast exams, and was charged with sexually assaulting two women who accepted the offer, police said on Thursday.

One woman became suspicious after the man asked her to remove all her clothes and began conducting a purported genital exam without donning rubber gloves, investigators said.

The woman then phoned the Broward County Sheriff's Office and the suspect fled. He was arrested at another woman's apartment in the same Lauderdale Lakes neighborhood on Wednesday, a sheriff's spokesman said.

The white-haired suspect, Philip Winikoff, carried a black bag and claimed to be visiting on behalf of a local hospital.

"He told the woman that he was in the neighborhood offering free breast exams," sheriff's spokesman Hugh Graf said in a statement.

At least two women, both in their 30s, let him into their homes and he fondled and sexually assaulted them, the investigators said.

Winikoff was not a doctor, Graf said. He worked as a shuttle driver for an auto dealership.

In my personal opinion, what kind of idiot would let this man come in their home for a breast exam? That is the stupidest thing I ever heard of, then a pelvic exam? WHAT? Are people getting crazy?!?!?

I'm glad you guys agree! I might understand if they were little old ladies, but these were women in their 30's who should have been smart enough to know better. I didnt mean it to sound like I was laughing at sexual assault, either, but I have to say this is one case where blaming the victim might not be that far off! I wonder what Nancy Grace would say about this case!!!!

Unbeleivable! I was waiting to hear what your opinion was LC, what do you think he will be punished with? Its a felony, right?

if he has no priors, he'll probably get probation while the judge and bailiffs are snickering in chambers.
