Louis Hampers: Indicted Children's Hospital doctor posts $2.5 million cash bond

Louis Hampers.

He will be released from jail sometime today.

Hampers has been in custody since he was arrested on September 7. At a detail-filled court hearing on September 28, his lawyers asked a judge to allow the wealthy doctor to post bond, and the judge agreed.

But Hampers is not a completely free man. The conditions of his bond dictate that he be monitored by a GPS system that will alert authorities if he leaves his house to do anything other than seek counseling or treatment. Hampers also gave up his privilege to prescribe controlled substances. (Earlier, in August, he gave up his medical license.)

Furthermore, Hampers is barred from having any contact with The Children's Hospital in Aurora, witnesses in the case and two women who have restraining orders against him. The circumstances that led to those restraining orders, one of which was won by 9News investigative reporter Deborah Sherman, were the subject of our recent feature, "When This Physician Gets the Fever, It's the Women He Dates Who Can't Shake the Bug."

In a separate order, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Blackburn tentatively set Hampers' trial date for November 29. But Hampers may find himself back in jail before then. He's also wanted on at least two warrants out of the Denver Police Department for harassment and witness intimidation in connection with his prior restraining orders.
