Frederick Police have arrested Dr. Syed Haque, 64, of Frederick, after a Frederick County grand jury indicted him on several charges related to a sexual assault investigation. Dr. Haque, who has been in practice as an internist and primary care doctor for more than 20 years, is charged with two counts of second-degree rape, three counts of fourth-degree sex offense, and three counts of second-degree assault. These charges stem from incidents during two separate medical visits to his office involving the same patient.

The adult female victim reported to detectives that Dr. Haque touched her inappropriately during an October 2024 visit, and again in January 2025. She initially did not report the October incident, questioning whether she had been sexually assaulted. However, after the January visit, the victim immediately reported the assault to the office staff and then to the police.
The victim alleges that Dr. Haque sexually assaulted her under the guise of conducting pelvic and breast exams, which were not the actual reasons for her visits. As part of their investigation, detectives from the Frederick Police Department conducted interviews and gathered evidence. Following consultation with the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office, the case was presented to the grand jury, which returned an indictment on January 31st.
