COMPTON (CBSLA.com) —  A dentist is free on bond after being arrested for allegedly molesting two of his underage patients.

Deputies arrested Dr. Mohammed Kader at his place of employment, Compton Family Dentistry, Thursday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The parents reported the alleged incidents to law enforcement.

Kader was arrested for lewd acts with a minor and annoying/molesting a minor.

He was being held in lieu of $120,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at Compton Superior Courthouse court Monday.
