Doctor faces sex trial

A New Plymouth doctor accused of sex offences against his patients will stand trial in the High Court.

The doctor is accused of sex offences against 10 female patients during the 1980s and 1990s.

New Plymouth District Court Judge Geoff Rea yesterday decided there was sufficient evidence to send the case to trial.

The doctor, whose name is suppressed, denied 20 charges of indecent assault and two charges of sexual violation. He was remanded on bail until February 8.
