An Oklahoma dental assistant is accused of recording and sharing videos of himself sexually assaulting 16 patients, six of whom were minors, while they were sedated for surgery, police said.
Cody Allen Stolfa, 35, allegedly committed the horrendous crimes while working at Central Oklahoma Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates in Stillwater in 2021, the Stillwater Police Department (SPD) said Friday:
Stolfa was originally arrested on July 10 after the FBI presented the SPD with a video recorded in 2021 that was “discovered on the dark web” before detectives uncovered “several videos and photographs that revealed multiple sexual offenses,” the police statement said.
Officials said SPD presented 15 additional victims besides the one in the first video and new investigative findings to the Payne County District Attorney’s Office just this week. “All victims were positively identified and notified,” SPD noted.
The first video was unearthed in Australia, where someone saw a recording of an unconscious patient being sexually assaulted and reported it to the authorities, Payne County District Attorney Laura Thomas told KFOR.
Australian authorities then used facial recognition technology to identify Stolfa and contacted the FBI and SPD.
According to affidavits obtained by KFOR, Stolfa allegedly “sexually assaulted, battered, abused and/or sodomized 16 young male patients, six of them minors.”
The victims, who are all now adults, ranged in age from 15-23 over the three-month period in 2021 when the alleged crimes took place.
According to Thomas, “none of them knew this happened to them until they were contacted by SPD and made aware.”
“It’s just really gross,” she said. “He’s very brazen, scary guy.”
