  • 11 reading now

A Rockhampton doctor has been charged with sexually assaulting five patients at two of the city's medical facilities.

The women, aged between 37 and 57, were allegedly assaulted between 2009 and 2013 and police have called for any other women with complaints to come forward.

After a lengthy investigation, detectives charged a 53-year-old man on November 30 with six counts of indecent assault.

A police spokeswoman said he appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court on that date and would reappear in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on December 21.

Police revealed the charges on Friday morning.

The man, who allegedly committed the crimes at two separate facilities in the city, no longer works in Rockhampton, police said.
