Police in York Region have arrested a doctor on sexual assault charges.
York's Criminal Investigations Bureau have charged a doctor with sexual assault after a victim reported two incidences.
Police say the person attended a medical clinic on Markham Road. During the visit, the person said the doctor touched them in a sexual manner. The victim left immediately and reported the incident to the police.
While telling police of the experience, the person also recalled a previous appointment at the same clinic in November 2023, when the doctor's actions were also inappropriate. At that time, the person didn't report the event because they believed the conduct might have been part of a legitimate medical procedure.
Police are asking the public to review the photo of Dr. Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, 62, of Whitchurch-Stouffville who has been a physician for more than 30 years.
Police say a sexual assault includes any non-consensual contact of a sexual nature. They encourage anyone who feels they may have been a victim to report the incident to the police.
