The now-69-year-old doctor, a renowned pain relief expert, was arrested in March 2023.
Investigators alleged that he lured two teens he met online, gave them drugs and paid for sex.
Three months after Kamlet’s initial arrest, one of the alleged victims was found dead in the Little River between Miami and El Portal.
