The reports said the victims had gone there seeking medical care after cosmetic surgery and paid Vidal to provide clinical care and lymphatic massages.
Both women said they were sexually battered by Vidal during the lymphatic massages, the reports said.
A records check showed Vidal wasn't a licensed medical provider and wasn't licensed to perform lymphatic massages, the report said.
