The case first garnered attention when health authorities raised concerns about Bye’s practices in August 2022, leading to a police investigation that revealed hidden camera footage documenting his misuse of medical examinations. The emotional and disturbing nature of the offenses—ranging from non-consensual touching to the use of improper medical techniques—has left the community shattered, highlighting the potential for abuse within trusted professions.

Victims included women between the ages of 14 and 67, with allegations dating from 2004 to 2022. Though Bye's defense sought a lesser sentence, prosecutors deemed the longer term just, given the extent of the violations against numerous victims. The case rings alarm bells about the critical need for safeguarding patients in medical settings.

Bye has also been prohibited from practicing medicine and faces orders to compensate the victims. As this grim chapter closes, it serves as a crucial reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by individuals seeking medical care. If you're affected by these issues, support resources are available.
