81-year-old busted for performing free breast exams makes deal with Florida prosecutors: report.

An 81-year-old Florida man busted for performing fake breast exams on two women has struck a deal with prosecutors that saves him from a 45-year prison sentence.

Phillip Winikoff was arrested in 2006 for pretending to be a doctor at an apartment complex in Lauderdale Lakes, according to a police report.

He was slapped with multiple charges, including sexual battery, as well as practicing medicine without a license, the report said.

Winikoff’s lawyers told a Broward County judge on Tuesday that he had reached a deal with prosecutors, The Sun Sentinel reported.

The specifics of the deal have not been disclosed, but if convicted in trial, he would likely have spent the rest of his life in prison.

Beware of old creep coots carrying black doctor bags.

Winikoff used a little black doctor’s bag to carry out his illicit ruse, according to police.

He conned his way into the first victim’s apartment, a 36-year-old woman, then once inside the residence “touched the victim’s breast,” according to the report. The woman realized something was wrong when he moved his hand down into her pants and fondled her.

I’m glad that she thought this was a tad bit odd.

He “fled the scene,” police said, but found at least one more victim and did the same to her before being arrested.

Okay, I’m lost here.  Why would anyone allow this to happen in their home?  Seriously, promoting an educational program is NOT the same as seeking out a professional in the proper setting.  Am I missing something here?

Winikoff’s alleged con happened at around the same time an organization called the Women’s Breast Health Initiative started going door to door offering information on breast cancer and free mammograms.

“Under no circumstances do any of our volunteers enter anyone’s home, ever,” founder and executive director Andrea Ivory told the Sun Sentinel.

“We conduct outreach in groups of two or three. No one comes to your door alone.”

Ivory also stressed that those groups always consist of females.

I’m reminded of an old say about a little common sense going a VERY long way, if you use it.  I know that the world is a mess, but what the heck is happening to the moral compass today?
