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.

A vague vandal who couldn’t remember repeatedly ‘keying’ strangers’ cars in a serial scratching spree has been placed on a good behaviour bond. But John Wood, 73, must pay back nearly $8000 in compensation to the owners of the seven duco-damaged vehicles he attacked. And he has also been banned from attending Rosebud Plaza without his wife in tow. Wood pleaded guilty at Dromana Magistrates’ Court to seven criminal damage charges on Thursday. The court heard the Rosebud retiree couldn’t explain why he vandalised six vehicles in the Plaza car park and one in the neighbouring Aldi area last year. He was nabbed on the last occasion, on October 29, by an alert Plaza security guard who noticed him acting suspiciously. She went over to see what was going on, saw Wood using something to scratch another car’s door, and confronted him. Wood told her “someone had done it to him previously”, alluding to that fact he may have himself been the victim of ‘keying’. But he then drove off before police could arrive.
