Kristina Ross: Jail for phony breast exams

breast cancer awareness is something every person ought to be concerned about, however nobody ought to have to worry about being tricked into a breast exam while enjoying libations in a drinking establishment. According to the Idaho Statesman, a Boise woman named Kristina Ross, 37, has been imprisoned for fooling other ladies into bar-room breast examinations. Ross – who operated under the guise of Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna – sits in an Ada County Prison. Her bond is $ 100,000 due to two felony counts of practicing medicine without a license.

Ross frequented clubs looking for ‘patients’

Many ladies reported interactions with Ross. According to the prosecution, one woman disrobed for Ross and another was fondled above her clothes. Boise bars were where these incidents occurred. The Statesman spoke with a local licensed plastic surgeon's office. They said that a Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna was being asked for by women wanting appointments. Women would call and say that surgeries and appointments were scheduled with a Dr. Aussieahshowna. Nobody worked there with that name.

Upon being questioned by police, Kristina Ross’ victims said that Ross appeared to get "significant" medical knowledge concerning breast inspection and breast cancer . The clubs that Ross was known to go to are being searched by police for other possible victims of Ross.

Criminal record of Ross as a male

Kristina Ross is a transgender even though she is a woman right now. In her previous life as a male, Ross had a criminal record in Idaho. He had the name Ross before too. When convicted of aggravated battery in 2003, it was under this name. Ross was classified as a male by the Idaho State Department of Corrections while it was changed to "MTF" meaning male to female after being in a male prison for a bit. The Idaho authorities explain that Ross was not with the general population.

Crime determined by Ross recently

Ross' court-appointed attorney has asked for a $5,000 bond for Ross. A $100,000 bond is currently in place. Each of the 2 charges Ross faces for practicing medicine without a license is punishable by as much as five years in prison.
