Irving police arrest medical assistant accused of abusing children patients

IRVING (1080 KRLD)- Irving police say a medical assistant for a pediatrics office in Irving police was abusing the kids he was supposed to be treating.

Police arrested 25-year-old Angel Nunez earlier this month – for sexually abusing multiple patients…on several occasions. Irving police say the patients thought they were getting a medical exam when they were actually being abused.

Police say Nunez worked at multiple Little Spurs Pediatrics locations including Irving, Grand Prairie, Arlington, and Fort Worth, between August of last year and August of this year.

He was arrested for Indecency with a Child and is now out on bond. Police say the company is cooperating, but detectives are wondering if there are more victims and are asking anyone with information to reach out.

Little Spurs reached out KRLD to provide the following statement:
“Little Spurs has been caring for children in the communities we serve for more than 15 years, and we are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all patients and their families. We recently learned that an employee conducted a medical procedure beyond their scope of practice and outside of our established guidelines.

Law enforcement is continuing to investigate the former employee, and we are fully cooperating with their investigation.
