The doctor, whose identity remains undisclosed due to legal reasons, was reportedly granted bail after appearing in the St John’s Magistrates Court on Friday, May 3rd.

The charges of serious indecency and indecent assault stem from an alleged incident on July 27th, 2023, during a medical consultation.

What’s particularly troubling about this case is the delay in addressing the reported offenses.

Real News initially reported the incident in mid-August last year, highlighting the inaction of law enforcement.

It wasn’t until recently, nearly a year later, that an arrest was made and charges were laid against the doctor.

Sources reveal that pressure was applied to the police hierarchy after the victim escalated the matter to the ombudsman due to perceived inaction.

Prior to this, there were reportedly doubts within the police force regarding the validity of the report, based on assumptions about the victim’s mental state.

While bail has been granted, further legal proceedings are expected.
