A Regina doctor has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference.
In a media release Monday, the Regina Police Service said Dr. El-fallani Mohammed had been charged in connection with incidents involving three females — two of whom were minors at the time. The incidents began as early as 2007.
Mohammed, 65, was arrested Friday and charged with two counts each of sexual interference and sexual assault on a person under 16 years of age and one count of sexual assault.
According to the Criminal Code, a sexual interference charge can be filed against a person who “for a sexual purpose, touches, directly or indirectly, with a part of the body or with an object, any part of the body of a person under the age of 16 years.”
Mohammed was released on an undertaking and is to make his first court appearance on Aug. 4.
According a report on the website of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan, Mohammed was charged with unprofessional conduct in 2017 and found guilty by the Discipline Hearing Committee in 2019.
“The Committee found that a number of individual acts involving two female complainants constituted professional misconduct, and also found an escalating pattern of unprofessional conduct,” the report said.
“The findings included inappropriate stethoscope examinations, inappropriate touching, and asking inappropriate personal questions. The Committee found inappropriate personal advances to both complainants.”
Mohammed was reprimanded, suspended and directed to take courses in professional boundaries and ethics. He also was ordered to have a female present for any in-person meetings with female patients.
He also was charged with unprofessional conduct by the college in June of 2019 for an incident with a patient in 2007. The woman claimed Mohammed performed an inappropriate examination, didn’t leave the room while she undressed and didn’t provide a sheet or other covering.
He was charged with unprofessional conduct again in January of this year in connection with allegations by six female patients dating back to 2007. Those complaints allege Mohammed conducted inappropriate stethoscope examinations, undid buttons on their blouses without asking for consent, made inappropriate comments and, in one instance, hugged the patient.
