When Claire Bartel, a pregnant woman with asthma arrives for a checkup with the doctor, he has her lie down and tells her that they'll begin with the breast exam toncheck for any problems. He manages to get the nurse to leave the room in order to be alone with Claire. However the 'exam' is really just a way for Mott to feel Claire. He moves down to her legs and begins sexually molesting her. Once the appointment is over, Claire gets home and tells her husband, Michael what happened. Michael suggests they file a complaint in order to prevent it from happening to other women.
