John Giacomini faces up to two years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced later this year.
PALO ALTO – A long-time VA Palo Alto Health Care System cardiologist has pleaded guilty to felony abusive sexual contact, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Giacomini practiced medicine and cardiology from 1985 to 2018 and most recently served as the chief of the cardiology section at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. As a federal employee, Giacomini was also trained on the prevention of workplace sexual assault and sexual harassment. In the fall of 2017, however, he began subjecting a subordinate doctor to unwanted and unwelcome sexual contact, including hugging, kissing and intimate touching while at the hospital, prosecutors said.
