So far, pleading guilty to attempted rape hasn’t cost a Miami-Dade physician assistant his medical license or his freedom, aside from the restrictions imposed on those on Tennessee’s sex offender registry.
That will probably change, but not immediately.
On October 25, an administrative complaint was filed by the Florida Department of Health against 34-year-old Julio Ramos. Administrative complaints initiate the process toward possible disciplinary action for those who hold state licenses.
Following his guilty plea on March 27, the 6-foot-4, 130-pound Ramos was sentenced to six years of probation on January 24, 2021, for attempted rape.
Ramos’ licensing profile in the Florida Department of Health says he was licensed on September 21, 2018. That online profile lists 7800 SW 87th St., Suite A110, OrthoMiami’s address, as Ramos’ legal address and the Tennessee Sex Registry lists that as the address of Ramos’ employer.
The timing of the medical license discipline process can vary widely, even when it comes to medical professionals involved in the same violation.
For example, after the death of Jaynisha Williams during a Brazilian butt lift in Plantation, complaints were filed against chief surgeon Dr. John Nees and Dr. Millicent Muir, who used Nees as an anesthesiologist despite knowing she had no training in anesthesiology. The complaint against Muir was filed on January 23, 2023. Her license was revoked on December 14, 2023. Nees’ complaint was filed on September 27, 2022. He still has his license.
