SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The trial for a former Northwest Arkansas pediatric surgeon facing rape and sexual assault charges involving at least one minor has been canceled, according to court documents.
Guy Rosenschein, 70, was arrested on July 17 on two counts of rape and one count of first-degree sexual assault.
A heavily redacted affidavit filed in January 2019 offers little details on the case but does mention there was at least one juvenile victim allegedly involved.
Court records show the alleged incidents took place in 2002 and 2006 and the case was investigated by the Springdale Police Department.
Rosenschein worked as a pediatric surgeon and pediatric urologist from approximately 2001 to 2012.

The warrant for Rosenschein’s arrest was filed on February 1, 2019.
Rosenschein filed a hand-written motion to dismiss pro se on July 5 and requested “oral arguments as an opportunity to assist the court in reaching an informed and fair decision.” Rosenschein wanted to dismiss the case he had yet to be arrested for.
He said while writing the motion, he was detained at a federal correctional institution in Pekin, Illinois.
The arrest warrant was served on July 17 and Rosenschein pleaded not guilty on July 22.
A plea hearing has been scheduled for September 11.
