Case of Seth David Cohen, MD
(AKA: Seth Cohen, David Cohen)
Southfield, Michigan
Livonia, Michigan
NOTE: There are several individuals by the name of Seth David Cohen. The on on this page was born on August 22, 1951.
Pled no contest to Accosting a Minor for Immoral Purposes and was later sentenced to 60 days in jail with credit for one day. Upon release Cohen will be placed on probation, with terms, for a period of three years. Additionally, Cohen was ordered to pay fines and costs totaling $720.
This is a case that was in the orthodox community of Detroit. There was very little media attention due to the fact there was pressure from the religious leaders to keep the case quiet. Shunning the facts is another way we make survivors feel they are to blame for being victimized. We need to start honoring them for the bravery it took to come forward and do what was needed to convict or at least to attempt to convict offenders.
It's time we start being honest and stop hiding the facts that sexual violence happens in Jewish communities at the same rate that it happens in any other community.
Remember one out of every three to five female and one out of every four to seven male anti-Semitic individuals were also abused as children by offenders who share the same philosophical view as they do.

Livonia State suspends doctor's license
Detroit News (Wayne Briefs) - Wednesday, September 21, 2005

The Michigan Department of Community Health suspended the medical license of Dr. Seth D. Cohen. Cohen, who lives in Livonia, pleaded no contest in Oakland Circuit Court to accosting a minor for immoral purposes and was sentenced to 60 days in jail. The court also required Cohen to wear an electronic tether for six months, pay $720 in fines and court costs and successfully complete a sex offender treatment program, said T.J. Bucholz, the department's spokesman. Cohen failed to notify the state within 30 days of his conviction, so that led to an indefinite license suspension. An administrative hearing will be this year to address the status of Cohen's license.
