A New Plymouth doctor will face a
High Court trial, after a two day depositions hearing ended in the city
yesterday. The doctor, who has name
suppression, faces 22 charges from 10 female complainants dating back to the
early 1980s. The charges include indecent
assault and sexual violation, relating to inappropriate touching of breasts
and genitals. New Plymouth District Court Judge
Geoff Rea decided there was sufficient evidence to send the case to trial. He has been remanded on bail, and
will be called to appear in the High Court in February
