A grand jury in Carroll County, Georgia returned a 12-count indictment, including three felonies, against Carrollton oral surgeon Dr. Gordon Trent Austin, alleging he assaulted patients under sedation. Dr. Gordon Trent Austin, 55, of Carrollton faced nine counts of simple battery, two of aggravated assault and one of first-degree child cruelty in the indictment. This dentist would perform oral surgery without enough anesthesia and then would hit his patients in the face with a heavy metal object if they screamed in pain or tried to resist. He would also yell at them to “stop that” and to “shut up.” Three former dental assistants have come forward as witnesses to these events. Including a brave lady named Melanie Head. Authorities added to the number of victims in the case. Gordon Trent Austin was indicted by a Carroll County grand jury in June 2009 on more charges, which include aggravated assault, two counts of cruelty to children and three counts of simple battery. According to the June indictments, Austin is accused of slapping a girl, who was under the age of 18, on the head during surgery. Another girl, who was also under 18, was allegedly struck by Austin with a metal object, causing her head to swell, according to the indictment. Austin previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice after he was arrested in November 2001 on felony charges of first degree forgery and falsifying documents. More and more victims of Dr. Austin have come forward. UPDATE …
