Lawyers for Dr. Hal Hill, meanwhile, have denied the allegations against him. 

"We strongly deny any allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct toward his wife," his attorney, Lee Davis, told the newspaper. "I expect there will be a full investigation, and I hope that nobody will rush to any conclusions."

"I think law enforcement and the community are aware of how a hasty, media-fueled investigation can sometimes lead to an unfair and wrong conclusion," he said. 

Hal Hill, a 51-year-old doctor of infectious disease, is not allowed near his home since the emergency protective order was filed Friday. The couple have two children.
