Former Toronto neurologist found not guilty of sexual assault charges
An Ontario Court judge has found a former prominent Toronto neurologist not guilty of sexual assault, citing inconsistencies in the testimony of its sole witness.
“Those credibility and reliability issues erode my confidence in the powerful evidence provided by the complainant,” Justice Felix says in finding that the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The patient, now in her early 60s, suffers from a chronic condition known a trigeminal neuralgia, a nerve condition that began decades ago with severe pain in her face and has spread to the rest of her body.
While she was lying on the examination room table with one leg up against the wall to see if the pain would ease, Dr. Gordon came back in, shut the door and began feeling the back of her leg. “You made zero effort to prove me wrong,” he said, raising his voice, after she refused to search her home for the notes.
