Dr. Raymond Severt, 53, a Santa Rosa orthopedic surgeon, is to be arraigned Monday and is out on bail while prosecutors decide whether to file charges after he was arrested while attempting to meet up with a girl he met in an online chat room. The girl, who allegedly first told him she was 21 and then later told him she was underage, turned out to be 13. The doctor’s defense attorney is quoted as saying, “From what I know, this may well have been a misunderstanding.” He’s currently on leave from his medical practice. AP
