Cork dentist John Tait was convicted yesterday of sexually assaulting a dental nurse at his surgery in 2006, just days after she started working for him.

Dentist John Tait (aged 60) of Glen House, Upper Rochestown, Cork, was convicted today of sexually assaulting a dental nurse at his surgery at St Patrick’s Terrace, Douglas, Cork, on Dec 20, 2006.

THE jury in the trial of a dentist accused of sexually assaulting a young dental nurse days after she began working for him was sent home by the trial judge yesterday evening and told to resume their deliberations today.

A DENTIST who opened all the buttons on his assistant’s tunic to check the quality of the material had his indecent assault conviction dismissed on appeal yesterday.

A DEFENCE solicitor used a woman’s Facebook posts to help clear his dentist client of sexual assault.
