Police will allege that Al-Sudani indecently assaulted the 28-year-old at the Arncliffe Doctors Clinic on June 4. Later that month,police say “a 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted during a consultation at the same medical centre”.
He was arrested at the Wollongong Road clinic and taken to St George Police Station where he was charged with sexually touching without consent and sexual intercourse without consent.
He was refused police bail and appeared in Sutherland Local Court on Friday,where Magistrate Philip Stewart granted him bail. The bail was delayed by three business days while the Director of Public Prosecutions prepared an appeal against the magistrate’s decision.
On Wednesday,investigators said they had identified a third woman allegedly sexually assaulted in June.
Al-Sudani has been charged with sexual touching and sexual intercourse without consent over the third alleged victim.
At Friday’s bail hearing,Al-Sudani offered a $1 million surety,handing over $200,000 as a pre-release security deposit.
His bail conditions dictate he must not practice medicine,report daily to St George Police Station and surrender his passport.
Al-Sudani will return to court in September.
An online profile says he has practised medicine for 17 years and has been working as a GP since 2011.
“As a doctor in Arncliffe,Dr Al-Sudani is highly attentive and makes sure that our clients receive uncompromised care with the highest standards. He takes a special interest in all aspects of general practice,” says the profile.
Arncliffe Doctors did not respond to calls or texts from theHerald seeking comment.
