He also saw patients at the South Shore Medical office in Kingston.

Others advised that person to tell the Norwell Police Department, prosecutors said.A grand jury indicted Kauff on charges involving 15 different victims over 23 years, prosecutors said, adding that he would be arraigned at a superior court at an unspecified date.
Kauff has been released on $50,000 cash bail with conditions that he have no contact with the victims and stay away from the Norwell and Kingston facilities of South Shore Medical Center. He may also have no unsupervised contact with children under 16 or leave Massachusetts, and he must surrender his passport and medical license.
