NSW doctor charged over sexual assaults

A doctor has been charged over the alleged sexual assault of two female patients in northern NSW.

In January 2013, a 60-year-old woman was allegedly sexually assaulted during an hour-long consultation at the doctor's Coffs Harbour practice and another woman, 20, reported similar allegations on Tuesday.

Police arrested the doctor, 60, on Thursday and charged him with four counts of aggravated sexual assault.

He's been refused bail and is due before Coffs Harbour Local Court in late June.
