TV star surgeon, Dr Grant Robicheaux, 43, pleads guilty to gun possession and drug charges after being cleared of drugging and gang-raping seven women he and his girlfriend picked up at hotspots like Nobu: They claimed they were just SWINGERS

Bravo TV star surgeon Dr Grant Robicheaux who was accused of drugging and gang-raping seven women he and his girlfriend picked up in bars has pleaded guilty to gun possession and a drug charges after being cleared of the sex crimes.

Robicheaux, 43, took a plea deal which saw him  placed on a year's probation for the misdemeanor drug charge and two years probation for the felony weapon count.

He has been ordered to carry out 32 hours of community service and undergo 16 hours of drug education classes, ABC7 reports. 

His attorney Philip Cohen told the outlet that despite being cleared of the most serious charges, his 'professional life is done'. 

The sentence comes after a California judge dismissed felony charges of poisoning and sale of phencyclidine against Robicheaux and his model girlfriend Cerissa Riley, 36.

The pair were initially accused of date-raping up to 13 women at their Newport Beach home.

Prosecutors claimed they picked up the alleged victims at swanky celeb-haunt Nobu in Orange County, as well as other bars in the vicinity before luring them back to their property.

Both maintained their innocence since being arrested in 2018, with their lawyers depicting them as swingers who like to party but who never engaged in non-consensual sex. 

Robicheaux, a 42-year-old hand doctor, was previously best known for his appearances on the reality show Online Dating Rituals of the American Male. He was charged with assaulting five women. Riley, 36, was charged with assaulting three.

In July, Orange County Superior Court Judge Michael Leversen tossed the charges, leaving none against Riley and just drug and gun possession charges against Robicheaux.

Police discovered six guns at Robicheaux's home, four of which belonged to his father, according to the Cohen.

They will now be shipped  back to his dad's home in Texas, while the other two will be destroyed.

Robicheaux's felony gun charge can be reduced to a misdemeanor after 16 months of successful probation and may later be expunged from his record.

He voluntarily surrendered his medical license during the investigation, but it remains to be seen whether he can return to work. 'Think about where we started,' Cohen said. 'He (Robicheaux) was (labeled) the most prolific rapist in history.'

'His reputation is done. It's sad to see what allegations can do regardless of the outcome.'

Cohen said he had continued working on the case pro bono even after his client stopped being able to pay his legal bills because the case had become so important to him

He confirmed Robicheaux is considering a civil suit to clear his name.

The last remaining accuser in the case penned a victim impact statement for the hearing on Wednesday which remains under seal. 

The woman's attorney, Sharon Tekolian, said her client was being 'silenced' as the Attorney General's office refused to fly her back from Israel, where she is serving as a commander in the military's war against Hamas.

'Jane Doe has worked on an impact statement for weeks,' Tekolian told ABC7. 'During a literal war in Israel she's fighting in. It's frustrating. My client is being silenced.'

She claimed the statement was filed under seal after Cohen threatened her client with a defamation lawsuit if it was read aloud into the record. 

The defense attorney denied the claims, saying: 'I'll leave what was said in chambers in chambers, but that's not what was said.'

Tekolian also criticized the Attorney General's Office for keeping her 'out of the loop'' on the plea negotiations.

Deputy Attorney General Namita Patel told the court the woman's location made a meeting impossible.

'And not until this morning did we reach a negotiated plea,' She said.

The alleged victim was no longer considered part of the case after Leversen  dismissed poisoning charges against the defendants, so she lacked standing as a victim under Marsy's Law which is designed to give victims the same rights as the accused.

The case became a flashpoint during the re-election bid by then-District Attorney Tony Rackauckas who was unseated by current-District Attorney Todd Spitzer.

Spitzer then controversially moved to dismiss the charges, publicly apologized to Robicheaux and Riley saying there was not sufficient evidence to bring the case.

The women's attorneys pushed back, arguing seven different women who had never met brought similar credible allegations against the pair.

A judge denied Spitzer’s request to dismiss the case, describing it as a 'back-room dismissal' of a case 'infected' by politics.

Two alleged victims pulled out of the case, stating they had been 'grossly mistreated' and 'dragged through the mud.'

A separate judge dismissed the charges relating to three other women at the request of the State Attorney General’s Office, leaving two remaining alleged victims.

Jane Doe 1 claimed she was attacked by the couple after meeting them at Baja Sharkeez on Oct. 2, 2016, while out drinking with her roommate.

She said they gave her a drink which caused her to 'black out' and then awoke in a state of undress next to her topless roommate who she could not rouse.

 She claimed she then encountered Robicheaux who allegedly grabbed her and said: 'You wanted this' before a struggle ensued.

Her screams woke neighbors who then called 911. 

The second woman initially met Robicheaux through dating app Bumble and said she trusted him because of his standing as a TV doctor.

She recalled her surprise when she met him for a date and Riley who he described as a 'good friend' was in tow.

Prosecutors claimed they spiked her drink, with the alleged victim claiming her next memory was waking up to being fondled by the couple at their home.

The sexual assault charges were dismissed in July, leaving only poisoning and drug possession charges which were dismissed in October.
