Gurvinder Singh Dosanjh appeared for sentencing in the Tenth Judicial District before Judge Thomas Stockard on Tuesday, August 20. On April 9, Dosanjh pled guilty to the Gross Misdemeanor of Open or Gross Lewdness. For Dosanjh to be considered for probation, he submitted to a Psychosexual Risk Assessment. Judge Stockard noted that the court had received the assessment and Dosanjh’s Substance Abuse Evaluation. 

Deputy District Attorney Priscilla Baker explained there were initially three charges, but the state reduced them to a single count per plea negotiations. According to Baker, the first victim was being interviewed by the defendant at Fallon RV Park when he hugged her and grabbed her buttocks. The second victim was an employee of RV Park who Dosanjh called her into his office, pulled down his pants, and “tried to get her to touch it.”  The third victim was another employee whom he instructed to go to his trailer near the store to get him a scotch. When she walked in, he went into the bedroom and came out naked.

Baker said Dosanjh’s “behavior is not acceptable,” telling Judge Stockard the state believes he needs counseling to ensure this does not happen again and that the defendant needs to understand what appropriate behavior is and is not.

Roberto Puentos, Esq., defense counsel for Dosanjh, said his client is a 54-year-old educated man, a successful businessman, and has been married 27 years. “He is a very soft-spoken, humble man,” Puentos said, explaining that this is a case where the dates of the offenses are remote. “These women started coming out of the woodwork and piling on.”  

According to Puentos, a couple of Temporary Protective Orders have been in place with no violations. He pointed out the risk assessment, which concluded that his client was not at a high risk of reoffending. Further, Dosanjh’s substance abuse evaluation indicates his client has a severe alcohol problem, with alcohol involved in at least two of the incidents. Puentos said he was hopeful the court would consider the joint recommendations for probation, also noting the offenses occurred one-and-a-half to three-and-a-half years ago.

Dosanjh said he felt sorry and very ashamed. “I feel sorry for the victims of my behavior.” Judge Stockard granted him probation on a suspended sentence of 364 days in jail. In addition to the standard conditions of probation, Dosanjh must follow the recommendations of both his Substance Abuse Evaluation and his Psychosexual Risk Assessment. Dosanjh must also register as a sex offender. Fees and assessments were imposed.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
