San Antonio Pediatrician Gabriel Perez Arrested on Child Sex Assault Charge

Detectives say the case stems from a 2022 exam of a 13-year-old.

Overview

  • San Antonio police arrested Dr. Gabriel Moses Perez, 50, on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child tied to a 2022 exam of a 13-year-old, according to an arrest affidavit.
  • The affidavit says Perez asked the boy’s mother to leave the room before the alleged sexual acts, and the patient reported feeling uncomfortable during a prior visit at age 12.
  • Perez denied the assault but told detectives he had hugged and kissed multiple patients when he believed they were stressed, the affidavit states.
  • Investigators noted a separate formal complaint from February 2024 involving a 17-year-old and asked anyone with information to contact SAPD’s Special Victims Unit.
  • CentroMed removed Perez from its website while Texas Medical Board records still listed his license as active at publication, and jail records show he has been released on bond.
