Guilty verdict in sex case

A High Court jury has found a New Plymouth doctor guilty on 26 sex charges.

The doctor was facing 37 charges of sexually offending against 12 female patients between 1981 and 2002.

The jury had been deliberating since midday on Tuesday. The judge is now deciding whether name suppression for the doctor should continue.
