Dr. John Hall was indicted by a grand jury in Mecklenburg Monday on seven counts of assault on a female involving six different patients.

Hall, who has called the allegations "bizarre and sensational," is expected to present himself at the Mecklenburg jail Wednesday, the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer reported Tuesday.

George Laughrun, Hall's attorney, said: "We knew these indictments were coming. This is just the first step in the process. My client is anxious for the process to get started and get this behind him for himself and his family."

Prosecutors declined to make any public comments about the case.

The N.C. Board of Dental Examiners revoked Hall's license in August after the women testified he used a syringe to squirt a foul-tasting substance in their mouths and made them swallow.

Tests on several syringes from Hall's office revealed the substance to be the doctor's semen, the newspaper said.
