The documents allege that Pellini committed the crimes while the victims, who are said to have been patients of Pellini, were incapacitated at the time. The offenses were said to have happened between Aug. 18, 2024, and Feb. 11.

PREVIOUS: Lawsuit pending against anesthetist accused of rape in North Carolina It's now four patients who have accused Pellini, who operated Outer Banks Wellness and Pain Management, of engaging in sexual intercourse while they were mentally incapacitated and physically helpless. Attorney Kevin Biniazin, who represents one of the alleged victims, known in the grand jury indictment as TP. He wants Pellini and those who knew what he was doing to be held accountable. Court documents allege that Pellini forcibly raped TP under the pretext of medical treatment. “And from our perspective, we've learned that Hampton Roads has truly been a breeding ground where Pellini has attempted to create connections and relationships that he could then draw on, whether it was from his Williamsburg location when that was active, or in Moyock where a lot of these indictments are now coming and he could force," Biniazin said. "It is unfathomable ... to imagine, or to even think, that somebody would incapacitate, put somebody under anesthesia, and then commit these crimes. It's something that none of us want to believe is true."   Biniazin's client, along with two others, identified as MP and MC, who was 16 years old at the time, make four victims, according to court documents, joining the first victim, known as PJ. Biniazan said, however, that he is aware of three others said to be victims, which would bring the total to seven. The grand jury found Pellini "did engage in sexual intercourse while the victims were mentally incapacitated and physically helpless. ... While he may have been acting alone in sexually abusing and assaulting these women, he was not acting without the knowledge and understanding of other persons who were likely aware of his wrongdoing.”  Pellini had still been listed on the Old Dominion University website, and the university confirmed he was employed there between June and August 30, 2024. One of the offense dates was August 18, 2024, while Pellini was employed at ODU. After we contacted ODU, they took down Pellini’s email contact from the website.   ...read more read less
