BEAUMONT, Texas — One of two doctors arrested in an October anti-human trafficking bust in Beaumont has been barred from practicing medicine.
The Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended Dr. Sadiq Ali's license without notice effective immediately Friday, Dec. 18, spokesperson Jarrett Schneider said in a news release.
The decision came after the board learned Beaumont Police arrested Dr. Ali and charged him with prostitution with someone under 18 years old, which is a second degree felony.
