Manchester Pediatric Neurologist Held Without Bail in Alleged Assault of Minor Patient

A judge ordered David Vargas Lowy detained pending a Dec. 29 probable cause hearing.

Overview

  • Lowy pleaded not guilty Thursday to two felony counts: felonious sexual assault and falsifying physical evidence.
  • Prosecutors allege he inappropriately touched a young female patient during a July exam, with a September report triggering a months-long Juvenile Unit investigation.
  • Police say he altered the girl's medical records, which underpins the evidence-falsification charge.
  • State records show a temporary emergency suspension of his New Hampshire medical license from Nov. 25 to Dec. 4, a prior suspension in 2020, and a recent agreement not to practice in Massachusetts.
  • Manchester police say the case remains under investigation and ask anyone with information to contact Detective Adrianne Davenport at 603-792-5549.
