This is the third time police have announced charges over the past few years against the doctor who held privileges at St. Mary’s General Hospital and Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, as well as at Guelph General Hospital.
Police initially laid charges in September and December of 2019.
Each time, police said the victims were patients under his care from January 2010 to June 2017.
Police said the investigation began in January 2018 while Sloka was working as a physician in Kitchener.
His licence was revoked in April 2019 after several former patients came forward with allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Two former patients accused him of inappropriate behaviour in August 2017. While awaiting a hearing on the incidents, which was to take place in April of this year, a third woman stepped forward.
Sloka pleaded no contest to the allegations, which included the inappropriate touching of breasts, inappropriate comments toward a patient, and suggestions that the doctor had his patients inadequately dressed or naked.
