it is alleged that only a small portion of the charity’s funds has gone to the needy and in what has been dubbed the 'Playboy party scandal' experts have apparently raised serious questions about the finances of the American charity, The Urban Health Institute (UHI), that was handed taxpayer-funded gifts from Premier Ewart Brown.

From a turnover of almost $200,000 in 2006 it is reported that the charity spent only $15,000 on its headline humanitarian missions during that year.  Apparently, the charity spent $80,000 renting office space for fundraising purposes in 2006 - despite the fact that the UHI is based in Kevin Brown's medical clinic. Estimates apparently suggest a medium-sized office in downtown L.A. should cost no more than $15,000.

Apparently, in 2008 the Premier ordered public funds be diverted to the UHI, in the shape of prizes to be given away at the charity's annual poker tournaments at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. This year, Dr. Ewart Brown attended the glitzy party as a guest of his son.

Doctor Kevin Brown has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting some of his patients.

It is understood that Kevin Brown's defence lawyer, Harry Nelson, has in the past successfully defended the doctor against charges of defrauding a medical fund.
