Doctor Acquitted of Sexual Assault Charges

UPDATED

Doctor Clarence Clottey was acquitted of all charges on August 7, 2018 after trial before Ontario’s Court of Justice. In his ruling Justice Stephen Brown wrote:

“I cannot find based on the totality of the evidence before me beyond a reasonable doubt that the inadvertent touching of some patient’s clitorises during examination was advertent and done for a sexual purpose or that the examination of the nipple area was not done using the Bates procedure that he described and was misperceived by his patients or seemed to be a pulling or twisting sensation when it was not”.

The judge went on to say: “although I realize that a doctor is not required to have a staff member or chaperone present during sensitive examinations of female patients, if one had been present for these complainants, then I do not believe that we would have had a trial which was admittedly difficult for the complainants and for the defendant.
