An Oakland oral surgeon faces charges he molested two underage girls, attempted to kidnap a woman, and filmed a young girl engaged in a sex act, according to documents filed in Contra Costa County.
Cassidy Migan Lavorini-Doyle, 36, faces seven felony counts after his arrest in December. Lavorini-Doyle is charged with human trafficking of a minor for a sex act when he tried to persuade two girls to engage in a commercial sex act. He is also accused of molesting both girls.
It started with a bizarre incident on the night of December 6, 2019 in the dimly lit parking lot of a building in Walnut Creek. Lavorini-Doyle went to visit his accountant, and explained he was tens of thousands dollars in debt, and that he owed money to “bad” people, according to police. A woman was emptying a trash bag into dumpsters behind the building when Lavorini-Doyle allegedly pulled up, hopped out of his car, and attempted to pull her inside. When she resisted, he offered $30,000 to buy her two daughters who were there by her side, and are both under the age of twelve.

But before the situation progressed, another employee exited the building. Lavorini-Doyle got back in his car but proceeded to circle the building. When police arrived he was still in the parking lot. According to police testimony, he said he wanted to take the girls that night, and that he’d return later with the money. The girls told police he asked them, “do you want me to be your dad?”
Lavorini-Doyle was detained briefly and released that evening. The next morning, he reportedly booked a $7,000 flight to Cambodia. Police said he returned on December 11, where Homeland Security agents immediately arrested him.

By this point, Lavorini-Doyle was being investigated by a group of federal and state authorities, including Walnut Creek police, the FBI, the DHS, and the Contra Costa District Attorney.
Court records show that in mid-December they served search warrants at his Oakland house where they discovered dozens of secret recording devices. Walnut Creek Official Thomas Brown testified at Lavorini-Doyle’s January preliminary hearing, saying:
“We found plastic coat hooks that had hidden cameras. We found pictures with frames with hidden cameras in them. We found key fobs that had hidden camera recording devices in them. We found notebooks that had hidden camera recording devices in them. We found what appeared to be compact mirrors or makeup mirrors that had hidden camera and recording devices in them. Found what appeared to be an alarm clock that had what appeared to be a hidden camera and recording device in it, among other stuff.”1
They also found more than 100 videos of child pornography, including one that depicted Lavorini-Doyle raping a prepubescent girl. The video referenced the girl as being ten years old. Investigators are still going through the videos to identify victims.

Brown testified that another box in Lavorini-Doyle’s garage had hypodermic needles, formula bottles for infants, plastic zip ties, and a meat cleaver.
When authorities interviewed Lavorini-Doyle’s wife, she told them that throughout their marriage, he’d turned increasingly to pornography. She said that discussing it with him only made the problem worse. She added that he told her he was going to drug rehab during his December trip to Cambodia.
Police testimony said that a search of Lavorini-Doyle’s phone showed that during the flight, he downloaded children’s songs. Police reportedly found files that included a “Cambodia sex guide for single men,”1 as well as evidence that he had bought roughly $35,000 in gold in Cambodia. They also found receipts for “transactions” involving 10-year-old girls.
If that’s not bad enough, police said that investigators also found evidence that Lavorini-Doyle was arranging to have prepubescent girls delivered to him in the Bay Area. Mercury News reported:
Emails in Lavorini-Doyle’s phone, according to investigators, referred to an “all but done” deal that called for “the delivery of a girl.” Lavorini-Doyle responded by setting up an October meeting in Tracy, agreeing to give the girl back two weeks later.
On another occasion, Lavorini-Doyle discussed renting a home in Berkeley, and inquired with a child sex trafficking service if two girls could come over at the same time, police say.
Police said on other texts, Lavorini-Doyle made specific physical demands about girls he wanted sent to him, and said he wanted to make sure “no law enforcement” caught on to what was going on.
At one point, police said, Lavorini-Doyle attempted to us his own separation from his wife and children to solicit a child victim.1
RELATED STORY:
Currently, Lavorini-Doyle sits in a Contra Costa County jail awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, child porn possession, and attempted kidnapping. After his arrest, the state Attorney General’s office moved to revoke Lavorini-Doyle’s dental license, saying the allegations gave state prosecutors “grave concerns” about him interacting with children.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office is trying to identify Lavorini-Doyle’s victims. If you have information about him, or believe that your child may be a victim, call the DA at 925-957-8658.
