A doctor has been charged over alleged sexual and indecent assaults committed against three women in the State’s north this year, NSW Police say.
In March 2016, a 21-year-old woman reported to police that she was sexually assaulted during a specialist appointment in Lismore.
Further investigations revealed two other women were also allegedly indecently assaulted.
About 7.30am today, detectives from Richmond Local Area Command executed a search warrant at a medical clinic in Lismore, seizing a number of items.
A 61-year-old man was arrested at the location and taken to Lismore Police Station.
He was charged with four counts of aggravated indecent assault – victim under authority of offender and one count of aggravated sexual assault – victim under authority of offender.
The man was granted conditional bail to appear at Lismore Local Court on Monday 28 November 2016.
Police encourage any person who has been a victim of sexual assault to report the matter to police for investigation.
Reports can be made to any police station.
