The doctor was also indicted for attempted sexual assault at the home of the same fifty-year-old, to whom he had visited.


This father, who denies the facts with which he is accused, has been placed under judicial control.

In particular, he was prohibited from practicing at the Roanne hospital center, in the Loire, where he was an emergency doctor, to leave the national territory, to come into contact with the victim and must be treated.

This 45-year-old man was indicted Thursday for rape of one of his patients, last December, we learned from a judicial source.

He was also indicted for attempted sexual assault at the home of the alleged victim, a fifty-something, to whom he visited three weeks later, last January.

"This indictment is accompanied by the aggravating circumstance that it is about a person having abused the authority conferred on him by his function", declared the public prosecutor of Saint-Etienne, David Charmatz.

Complaints dating from 2014

"The prosecution will appeal to the investigating chamber of the Lyon Court of Appeal of the refusal of his imprisonment by the judge of freedoms and detention", added the magistrate, specifying that in light of the facts denounced, he was also going to "request the reopening of an investigation", which in April 2014 ended with a dismissal, following complaints relating to identical facts alleged against the practitioner.

Last January, the alleged victim, taken in charge on December 13 by the respondent in the emergency room of the Roanne hospital center, had filed a complaint against him, claiming to have felt pain in the vagina after a moment of drowsiness.

She had indicated that the person concerned had gone three weeks later to his home, located about thirty kilometers from Roanne, where he would have undertaken touching before she pushed him away.

The emergency doctor, arrested Tuesday at his home by investigators from the research brigade of the Roanne gendarmerie, only admitted to having gone to his patient because he "was concerned about his state of health", he said. -on specified from the same source.
