The Medical Board of California revoked Newport Beach orthopedic surgeon Grant Robicheaux's medical license in August after he allegedly violated probation terms tied to his 2023 criminal plea deal.

Robicheaux, who appeared on the 2014 Bravo reality show "Online Dating Rituals of the American Male," was required to attend substance abuse meetings, submit to random drug testing, abstain from controlled substances and reimburse the board more than $30,000 for its investigation costs, the Los Angeles Times reported.

He fell short on nearly every count.

The board alleges Robicheaux failed to check in for drug testing more than a dozen times in 2025 and for the first 30 days of January 2026, according to the state's filing. He declined to provide a bodily fluid sample on four occasions in 2025, skipped substance abuse meetings in December 2025 and stopped making monthly payments to the board after September 2025.

The revocation closes a regulatory chapter that began with criminal allegations in 2018. Then-Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas accused Robicheaux of drugging women he met at Newport Beach night spots and sexually assaulting them at his Balboa Peninsula home, according to Patch. Robicheaux was charged with sexually assaulting five women. He and his then-girlfriend, Cerissa Riley, denied the accusations, saying they were "swingers" who engaged in consensual activity.

The case took a political turn when Rackauckas' successor, District Attorney Todd Spitzer, tried to dismiss the charges, citing a lack of evidence and mishandling by his predecessor. An Orange County Superior Court judge later ruled there was not enough evidence to support the sexual assault allegations.

Robicheaux's criminal case ended in 2023 when he pleaded guilty to a felony count of possessing an assault rifle and a misdemeanor count of possessing psilocybin. Police found both during a January 2018 search of his Newport Beach home tied to the assault investigation. He was sentenced to two years of formal probation, drug education classes and community service. The judge said completing probation could allow Robicheaux to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor and have both charges expunged. His criminal case no longer appears in Orange County Superior Court records, which the Times reported is consistent with expungement.

In November 2023, at the close of the criminal case, Robicheaux's attorney Philip Kent Cohen told reporters: "His professional life is done. His reputation is forever done, and it's sad to see what an allegation can do, regardless of what the ultimate outcome is."

It was not clear whether Robicheaux had been practicing medicine in recent years. Cohen said at the time that his client had lost his home and had not worked as a physician in more than five years. No on-record response from Robicheaux or the Medical Board of California was available in published reports as of Sept. 4.
