Doctor accused of sexual assault on patient

An American doctor with a Polish background who practised in Midleton for several months in 2012 was put on trial by judge and jury yesterday on a charge of sexually assaulting a female patient.

Michael Obrowski pleaded not guilty to a charge of sexually assaulting the patient, a woman in her mid-twenties.

She testified that she went to the doctor at Corabbey Court, Midleton, Co Cork, complaining of stomach pain and diarrhoea and that the doctor conducted an examination of her breasts, vagina, and rectum.
