NRI PULSE STAFF REPORT
Miami, FL, August 26, 2026 — Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, a former University of Miami urologist and professor facing three counts of sexual battery, has publicly denied the allegations against him, saying he never assaulted anyone or performed unnecessary medical procedures.
“These slanderous allegations were levied against me more than two and a half years ago by disgruntled members of the university community,” Ramasamy said in a video statement released after he was freed on bond.
“I never performed any unnecessary medical procedure,” he said. “I never assaulted anyone. I never sexually assaulted anyone. Never.”
Ramasamy, a specialist in male infertility and sexual dysfunction who formerly worked at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine, was arrested Aug. 20 after returning to the United States from Dubai. He faces three counts of sexual battery and has pleaded not guilty.
Ramasamy emphasized in his statement that he returned to the United States voluntarily after learning of the criminal charges.
“As soon as I found out about these criminal charges a few months ago, I immediately agreed to voluntarily return to the United States to refute the false accusations and clear my name,” he said.
His attorney has also stressed that Ramasamy voluntarily surrendered. Ramasamy had been working in Dubai as a urology consultant after leaving the University of Miami.
The allegations against him involve men who were medical students, mentees, researchers or other trainees at the university, according to Miami police.
An arrest warrant alleges that Ramasamy told some of the men that there could be problems with their sexual or reproductive health and persuaded them to undergo medical examinations. Police allege that the examinations included prostate exams, testicular scans and other procedures that investigators say were unnecessary.
According to the warrant, some of the men later became suspicious after they could not find reports or results from the examinations in their medical records. Investigators consulted another medical expert who determined that some of the examinations described by the accusers were not medically necessary, according to Local 10.
The allegations remain unproven, and Ramasamy has categorically rejected the prosecution’s account.
Ramasamy was taken into custody at Miami International Airport after arriving from overseas and subsequently appeared in court. A judge set his total bond at $120,000 and ordered him to remain under house arrest with GPS monitoring. He was also ordered to have no contact with the alleged victims.
His Florida medical license remains active, according to state records.
Ramasamy was previously a prominent figure in academic urology, serving on the faculty of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and publishing extensively in the fields of male reproductive medicine, infertility and sexual health. He has not been affiliated with the university for more than two years.
The criminal case is pending in Miami-Dade County. Ramasamy is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
