The last remaining charges against a local dentist who was accused of sexually assaulting female patients were dismissed in court Tuesday at the prosecution's request. Dr. Nikhilkumar M. Patel, 55, of 64 O'Donnell Ave., Shrewsbury was scheduled to go to trial Tuesday in Central District Court on three counts of indecent assault and battery stemming from allegations that he squeezed a woman's breast on three occasions during dental procedures in 2015 and 2016 in his office at 130 Lincoln St. The charges were dropped, however, after Assistant District Attorney Alyssa A. Kilmurray filed a motion to dismiss saying the complaining witness did not wish to go forward with the trial.
