Police in Calgary have charged a family doctor with sexually assaulting four patients.

They say four complainants came forward independently last year alleging they were sexually assaulted at a clinic in the city’s northwest.

It’s alleged the assaults happened between 2016 and 2020.

The complainants allege the doctor performed non-consensual sexual acts in an examination room.
