Worcester Doctor Pleads Not Guilty To Sex Charge

Worcester (AP) ― A University of Massachusetts Medical School doctor has pleaded not guilty to a charge that he solicited sex from an undercover Worcester police officer.

Peter Rice has been released on personal recognizance after his arraignment in Central District Court.

Rice is a researcher in infectious diseases, including sexually transmitted diseases, and has said he was "gathering information" when he was arrested.

Rice was arrested Saturday after offering the undercover female officer $ 40 dollars for sex.

A spokesman for the medical school says the 65-year-old Rice has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into his case.

A message left for Rice�s lawyer was not immediately returned.

Rice is scheduled back in court in December.
