A New Brunswick doctor now faces three charges alleging he sexually assaulted patients while working at a hospital in Nova Scotia earlier this year.
Dr. Sanjeev Sirpal, 39, was originally charged in August with one count of sexual assault. RCMP have laid two additional charges alleging sexual assaults.
Police allege the assaults occurred during patient exams while he worked at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre near Amherst, N.S., in January and March this year.
Sirpal was scheduled to make his first appearance on the charges in Amherst provincial court on Monday.
Defence lawyer Stan MacDonald appeared by phone on his behalf. MacDonald said they didn’t have complete disclosure of the Crown’s evidence and asked for an adjournment.
