He was subsequently charged with nine counts of aggravated sexual assault, six counts of indecent assault, one count of female genital mutilation, one count of maliciously inflict grievous bodily harm.
Strike Force Tarella was established in February to investigate over 100 allegations of patient misconduct against the doctor between 2001 and 2003, at Baulkham Hills and Bega.
Commander of the Child Protection and Sex Crimes Squad, Detective Superintendent John Kerlatec, said, “This is a unique and highly complex investigation being conducted by the NSW Police Force.
“Today’s charges relate to reports submitted to police by 10 people, and are a testament of the courage demonstrated by these women who have bravely come forward to report such traumatic events.
“Strike Force Tarella remains an ongoing investigation and detectives will continue to examine all reports of misconduct related to this case.
“I encourage anyone who has further information about this investigation to contact police immediately,” Detective Superintendent Kerlatec said.
