  A doctor in Virginia has been arrested on two sex crime counts, and he allegedly told his victim that he had a ‘fantasy’ about her

  A doctor in Virginia has been charged with two sex crime counts after he allegedly told a victim that he had a “fantasy” about her. Richmond Police charged Frank Ramsey, 83, with felony object sexual penetration and misdemeanor assault and battery on August 11, 2025.

  At the time of his arrest, he was working part-time at a Patient First location in Chesterfield County. Ramsey reportedly entered a Richmond-area hospital on August 6, 2025, to visit a family friend, identified as Individual A in the board’s allegation statement viewed by CBS 6. The board claimed that he attempted to kiss Individual A on the lips, as well as penetrated her vagina with several fingers without her consent. The victim told a board investigator that she’d met Ramsey and his wife through church, while a nurse told the investigator that the victim said she and Ramsey’s wife were 'best friends.” She also told authorities that Ramsey allegedly said to her, 'I want to feel your p***y. My job is to make you feel better.''I am so ashamed of myself. had nothing to do with what I did. I told her about my fantasy about making you feel better. She said, 'Don't you dare,’” Ramsey allegedly wrote in one message. Another alleged message from Ramsey read, 'I apologize. Really was trying to make you feel better, but it didn't do much or not at all. It will not happen again. Hope we can still be friends.' Ramsey also reportedly sent an email to a board investigator in October 2025, stating that he would voluntarily surrender his DEA license and was willing to surrender his Virginia medical license to the board. Additionally, he said that he did not plan to renew his license to practice medicine. His license later expired on January 31. CBS 6 reported that the Virginia Board of Medicine officially suspended Ramsey's right to renew his license to practice medicine on February 19 in light of the charges. Ramsey can contest the suspension at a formal hearing before the Board of Medicine, which is scheduled to take place on April 3. Meanwhile, he is next scheduled to appear in court regarding the criminal charges on Wednesday, March 4. It is not currently clear if Ramsey has entered a plea, though CBS 6 reported that his attorney said he is feeble and his mental status is starting to decline during an August 2025 court appearance. Ramsey was granted a $2,500 bond and was placed under house arrest in August 2025, according to 12 On Your Side. The Richmond Police Department did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment regarding the case. Prior to his role at Patient First, Ramsey was a well-known doctor who worked in the ER at Chippenham Hospital. He started at the hospital in 1984 and continued to be employed there until he retired in April 2022, according to the Richmond Times Dispatch.

  RICHMOND, Va. — The Virginia Board of Medicine suspended Dr. Frank Edgar Ramsey's right to renew his license to practice medicine on Feb. 19 following charges filed against the then-83-year-old doctor last year.

  Ramsey was charged with felony object sexual penetration and misdemeanor assault and battery by Richmond Police on Aug. 11 of last year. At the time of his arrest, he worked part-time at a Patient First location on Genito Road in Chesterfield County.

  According to the board's statement of allegations, Ramsey entered a Richmond-area hospital on Aug. 6 to visit a family friend identified as Individual A. The board alleges he attempted to kiss her on the lips and penetrated her vagina with several fingers without her consent. As CBS 6 previously reported, police said the alleged crime occurred at Chippenham Hospital.

  Individual A told a board investigator she met Ramsey and his wife through church. The investigator noted that a nurse who responded to Individual A's room said Individual A described herself as "best friends" with Ramsey's spouse.

  She told police that Ramsey allegedly said to her, "I want to feel your pussy. My job is to make you feel better."

  The board order includes text messages obtained by the board investigator that Ramsey allegedly sent to Individual A after the alleged incident.

  In one message, Ramsey allegedly wrote:

  "I am so ashamed of myself. [Dr. Ramsey's spouse] had nothing to do with what I did. I told her about my fantasy about making you feel better. She said 'Don't you dare.'"

  In another message, he allegedly wrote:

  "I apologize. Really was trying to make you feel better, but it didn't much or not at all. It will not happen again. Hope we can still be friends."

  According to the order, Ramsey sent an email to a board investigator in October stating he would voluntarily surrender his DEA license, did not plan to renew his license to practice medicine in the future, and was willing to surrender his Virginia medical license to the board. His license expired on Jan. 31 of this year.

  Ramsey can contest the suspension at a formal hearing before the Board of Medicine scheduled for April 3. His next court appearance on the criminal charges is scheduled for March 4.

  We reached out to Ramsey's attorney and are waiting for a response. At Ramsey's bond hearing in August, his attorney told the court he is feeble and his mental status is starting to decline.
