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.
