A 47-year-old Red Hill man has been charged with 20 offences, including sexual assault, assault and acts of indecency allegedly committed against four women.

Police allege that between 2021 and 2024, the doctor committed offences against four women employed by his Garran medical practice.

Police also allege the offences were committed in Canberra, interstate and overseas, often during business trips and work functions.

The investigation began in January 2024 and on Thursday investigators from the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Team searched the man’s home and practice.

Police say he was arrested and charged with offences including six counts of aggravated common assault, two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, seven counts of committing acts of indecency without consent, and two counts of using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.
