Labrador medical doctor guilty of misconduct, to face disciplinary hearing
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – A Labrador medical doctor accused of making sexual comments and inappropriate kissing has been found guilty of at least one count of professional misconduct.
Dr. Adekunle Williams Owolabi faces a sanctioning hearing Monday.
He denied any wrongdoing during a six-day hearing earlier this year before a panel from the provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Four female complainants have accused him of misconduct — from sexual comments during a pelvic exam to inappropriate hugging and kissing.
Penalties may range from a fine to suspension for the doctor, who graduated in 2000 as a general practitioner in Nigeria.
No decision or agreed statement of facts have been released, but the scheduled sanctioning hearing confirms a guilty finding on at least one of four counts of professional misconduct.
