Quiet clinic entrance on a residential street in Girona

Doctor arrested over alleged sexual touching of patient

Mossos d’Esquadra have arrested a 58-year-old doctor in Girona after a patient accused him of sexually touching her during a consultation at a private clinic.

The man, who specialises in general medicine and traumatology, was detained on Saturday at around 10.45am after the woman reported the alleged incident to police.

He later appeared before the Girona duty court as a suspect in a sexual assault investigation and was released with charges.

Previous complaints

According to reports from the case, the doctor had already been accused on two earlier occasions of similar behaviour, once in 2024 and again this year. This is the first time Mossos have arrested him over the allegations.

The doctor was not a member of the clinic’s permanent staff but worked there through an outside company that provided services at the premises. The firm has since suspended him as a precaution while the matter is clarified.

The allegations remain under investigation and no court ruling has been made.
