Victim's mother says Dr. James Ryan noticed Sarah Harris years earlier in a toy store where she was dressed as Elsa from "Frozen."

When Sarah Harris went in for surgery to remove her wisdom teeth in the summer of 2020, she must have thought she was in good hands. The oral surgeon she chose, Dr. James Ryan, had years of training, a good reputation and a thriving practice near her Washington, D.C.-area home. As a new patient at 23, she may never have dreamed he’d allegedly watched her when she was just 14. And Ryan would do more than take out Sarah’s teeth. Her family says he would take her self-control and eventually take her life.

    And in at least one case, Ryan appears to have actually administered the drugs to Sarah himself. On Dec. 20, 2021, he’d written “If you wake up … I just went to change, after I gave you Ketamine just now …”

    This message? That’s not what this says.

    If I asked someone to give me ketamine, and they did, I would go to sleep. If I woke up and wondered where they were, it would be nice of them to have left me a message saying they’d just gone to get changed and would come back.

    OTOH if someone gave me ketamime while I was asleep in order to control me somehow, they probably wouldn’t leave me a message telling me they had done so.
