Woman with toothache groped by GP, jury told
The 38-year-old doctor denies assaulting the mother of three by groping her breasts after she had gone to him complaining of toothache. He pleaded not guilty to the single charge when arraigned before his trial at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court, sitting in Tullamore.
Evidence is being heard by a jury of seven men and five women before Judge Keenan Johnson. The judge yesterday made an order prohibiting publication of the name of the doctor or the woman and also banned the publishing of photographs.
