San Jose dentist accused of molesting girlThursday, August 20, 2009 (08-20) 16:01 PDT SAN JOSE -- A San Jose dentist already convicted of battery for groping adults patients has been arrested on suspicion of molesting a girl, authorities said Wednesday. More Crime NewsBenva Lazar, 56, was arrested Aug. 10 after a 14-year-old girl told police he had fondled her breasts when she was 13, authorities said. The arrest came three months after Lazar entered no-contest pleas to six misdemeanor counts of battery for groping adult patients in his care. He has not been sentenced. Lazar was arrested in October after a 23-year-old patient said he had touched her breasts under the guise that he was screening her for cancer. Lazar, a married father of two children, specializes in operative and restorative dentistry and has taught at Boston University and Harvard University, according to his Web site. E-mail Henry K.
