EDITOR’S NOTE: This content originally appeared in the All About Health magazine inserted in The Vindicator on Thursday. It is being rerun today to correct the name of Dr. Dominic J. Peters, chairman of the surgery department at Salem Regional Medical Center, whose name was listed incorrectly in the magazine story and photos.
He will be sentenced 10 a.m. June 6.
His 2019 superseding indictment alleged he committed the offenses against six children ranging in age from 12 to 15 in June 2019.
Aiad-Toss formerly worked for an outside company as an emergency room doctor at St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital but was taken off the schedule when the allegations surfaced in 2019.
Among the allegations in his indictment were that Aiad-Toss cocerced a child younger than 14 to “engage in a commercial sex act” on or about June 1, 2019. Other offenses are alleged to have occurred on other dates in June 2019.
Federal investigators said earlier that Ashland police contacted the FBI after the mother of a 13-year-old girl told authorities she and other juveniles met Aiad-Toss on the social media app Snapchat and that he paid them for sex acts.
With the state vaccinating those at least 80 years old this week for COVID-19, the number of doses given is picking up. But the total COVID-19 vaccines still lags well behind the number of people eligible to receive them.
The Ohio Department of Health reported that as of 6 a.m. Wednesday, the state had administered 482,039 vaccines. That is 4.12 percent of the state’s population. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported as of 6 a.m. Wednesday, Ohio had 1,119,175 doses of the vaccine, so the state used 43.1 percent of what it had. Of the amount given, 25,979 vaccinations occurred in the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. Wednesday.
