Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, 62, of Whitchurch-Stouffville, is shown. Malouka Abdel Malak is facing charges in connection with two alleged sexual assaults.
A physician who police say has been practicing for more than 30 years has been charged in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a patient.
Police say the complainant attended a medical clinic on Markham Road in Markham on July 7 for an appointment.
It is alleged that during the course of the appointment, the physician touched the complainant in a sexual manner.
The individual left immediately and subsequently reported the matter to police.
It is further alleged that while speaking with investigators, the complainant recalled another incident during a previous appointment at the same clinic in November 2023 in which the doctor's actions were 'similarly inappropriate,' police say.
According to investigators, that incident was not reported at the time because the complainant believed the conduct may have been part of a medical procedure.
Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, 62, of Whitchurch-Stouffville, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault in connection with the separate incidents.
Police say that investigators believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.
An image of the physician has been released and police are 'encouraging anyone with information to come forward.'
