The Chelsea doctor charged with 94 counts of sexual assault and voyeurism has been suspended from practising medicine.
Dr. Vincent Nadon was suspended on May 17, according to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. The college regulates doctors and investigates complaints against them. It suspended Nadon’s licence to ensure he does not pose any further risk to patients, a college spokesperson said.
Nadon had already been banned from practising at clinics run by the University of Ottawa Health Services, where he previously worked.
Police charged Nadon with voyeurism in January after a woman alleged to police that she had discovered a cellphone recording her in an examination room at a University of Ottawa Health Services clinic.
Police laid additional charges in February and in May. Nadon now faces a total of 94 charges of voyeurism and sexual assault involving 51 people over the span of 30 years.
The 57 year old appeared briefly in an Ottawa courtroom Wednesday by video link from the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. His case was held over until May 30. No bail hearing has yet been held.
Bail conditions imposed by the court in February already prohibit Nadon from any employment or volunteer work that involves conducting “examinations or procedures, medical or otherwise.”
But the suspension of his licence by the college means Nadon would be prohibited from practising medicine even if those bail conditions were to change.
The licence suspension was issued by the college’s inquires, complaints and reports committee, which is the first step in the investigative process. That committee can refer complaints to the discipline committee, which investigates allegations of professional misconduct or incompetence.
Typically, the discipline committee does not hold hearings until any criminal charges are disposed of.
It’s not known if any patients complained to the college about Nadon. However, that is not necessary for the college to start an investigation.
Under provincial law, doctors convicted by the criminal courts of various offences face a mandatory revocation of their licence. That list of offences was expanded on May 1 to include voyeurism.
