Puerto Rico paramedic charged with lewd acts

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Authorities in Puerto Rico have charged a paramedic with performing lewd acts on a car crash victim.

Police on Friday accused 41-year-old Jorge Luis Daugherty Diaz of touching the breasts and genitals of a 19-year-old woman following a May 2013 car accident.

It was not immediately clear if Daugherty had an attorney. He posted a $10,000 bond.

Daugherty worked for a private company called New Life Ambulance.
