IC doctor accused of inappropriately touching a child

An Iowa City doctor has been accused of inappropriately touching a child.

Thomas Warren Jr., 44, was charged March 10 with indecent contact with a child.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, the victim was spending time with the Warren family during an overnight visit. The victim stated she was pretending to be asleep on the couch when Warren approached her.

The victim said Warren stood over her, touched and allegedly squeezed her breast over her clothing, and then attempted to remove her tank top.

According to the complaint, the victim was taken home by Warren’s wife after attempting to text her father requesting to pick her up.

When the victim returned home, her parents and grandparents noticed she was visibly upset, and she told them she had been touched, the complaint said. Warren told police officials he had been adjusting her blankets to tuck her in and added this was the first time he had ever tucked her in.
