Fattah was accused of performing medically unnecessary examinations on the women for his own sexual gratification but argued at trial each had a “proper medical purpose”. A District Court jury in May found him guilty of 13 counts of sexual intercourse without consent and five counts of assault with act of indecency. He was found not guilty of 12 other offences. The 16 female complainants, who each gave evidence, were aged between 19 and 40. Judge Sharon Harris on Friday set a minimum non-parole period of 11 years, meaning that, with time served, Fattah won’t be eligible for parole until October 2028.
