In September 2021, while conducting a separate investigation in which a document signed by the accused was used as evidence, police became aware that the accused was fraudulently posing as a medical doctor.
Police found that Rossemarie Castro Rosales, also known as “Dr. Marie Milne,” has been featured on websites, videos, radio and in print advertisements posing as a medical doctor who performs massage therapy, holistic therapies and quasi-medical techniques.
On Sep. 26, 2022, RossemarieCastro Rosales, 36, was charged with fraud under $5000 (x2), attempted fraud under $5000 (x2), laundering proceeds of crime, false pretence (x3), obstructing a peace officer, forgery, possess forged document, uttering a forged document, as well as prohibited cannabis sales. She was also charged with unauthorized use of the title “Doctor” under the Health Professions Act.
Investigators believe there may be additional complainants who were not aware that Castro Rosales is not a medical doctor, and may have been “treated” by her in circumstances that may constitute sexual assault (e.g. genital touching under the claim of medical treatment). Investigators are encouraging them to come forward to report their experience to police.
