  USA TODAY first reported in January about Dr. Ryan Williams, a colorectal surgeon, who has been accused of rape by multiple patients. Williams, USA TODAY has learned, passed a lie detector test about accusations he raped a patient in 2008 -- a fact that was introduced by the county prosecutor to the grand jury investigating him. Legal experts say Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Thomas McGinty did what few prosecutors do when he introduced the polygraph test, which is inadmissible in court because of its unreliability. Williams is now under investigation by the Ohio Medical Board and has been suspended from his current job following USA TODAY's reporting.
