@alextatem @dipenjparekh @alextatem hello, my name is Michelle Marchante and I’m a Miami Herald reporter. Could you DM me please? I’ll like to chat.

🚨 THE U’S DARKEST SECRET: Did Miami’s most prestigious university SHIELD an accused sexual predator for years? Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy stood on stage at the 2023 AUA meeting to receive the Gold Cystoscope Award — the highest honor in young urology — with his mentor @dipenjparekh beaming beside him. @AmerUrological celebrated. @JAMANetwork amplified his COVID fertility paper. @SMSNA_ORG and @sexmedjournals cheered. Less than a year later: @UMiamiHealth and @umiamimedicine’s own Title IX office confirmed allegations of “inappropriate conduct” toward male trainees were CORROBORATED. He wasn’t fired. He wasn’t reported to police. He quietly resigned… and relocated to Dubai, where he’s still practicing urology and overseeing trainees. Then came the FDLE arrest warrant (Oct 2025) for sex offenses. The allegations: systematic coercion, medically unnecessary genital exams, forced “treatments,” and pressured semen samples that may have tainted landmark research. Trainees silenced by fear for their careers. This is bigger than one doctor. This is about institutions that allegedly chose reputation over victims. @UMiamiHealth @umiamimedicine @dipenjparekh @AmerUrological @JAMANetwork @sexmedjournals @SMSNA_ORG — the medical community and every future trainee deserve full transparency NOW. Full exposé with Title IX letter, HR complaint, arrest warrant & timeline is below. For every silenced victim: we see you. We believe you. Not anymore. (These are serious allegations. Dr. Ramasamy has not been convicted of any crime and is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.) #MedTwitter #Urology #Accountability
