Cottbus / Finsterwalde (dpa / bb) - The State Medical Association in Brandenburg is examining allegations of sexual assault against a doctor at the Elbe Elster Clinic in Finsterwalde.
«The doctor has asked the Chamber to review the allegations under professional law.
It is currently running, ”said a spokesman for the German press agency on Wednesday.
The doctor who rejects the allegations made a voluntary report.
The spokesman did not want to comment on details with reference to the ongoing proceedings.
The State Medical Association is responsible for professional law.
According to a report by the ARD magazine “Kontraste” and the Lausitzer Rundschau, several women accuse the doctor of sexual harassment.
According to this, he is said to have touched patients in the pubic area during ultrasound examinations in his treatment room, even though they had complained of complaints in the stomach and chest.
According to Chief Public Prosecutor Gernot Bantleon, the Cottbus public prosecutor's office is investigating suspected sexual assault.

The district administrator of Elbe-Elster, Christian Heinrich-Jaschinski (CDU), had responded to the reporting of "Contrasts" and the Lausitzer Rundschau about the doctor on Friday last week.
At the end of June 2019, as a partner, he received knowledge from the clinic management of a written complaint from a patient who was allegedly sexually molested by a doctor at the Elbe-Elster Clinic in 2014 and who filed criminal charges against this doctor.
The clinic management investigated this complaint immediately and offered the patient an appointment, according to the district administrator.
She did not notice this and also refused to provide more information about the criminal complaint.
In September 2019, an outgoing doctor informed him about an alleged sexual harassment by a clinic doctor.
He advised to file a criminal complaint.
At the same time, he commissioned the clinic with internal investigations, said Heinrich-Jaschinski.
He learned through the media that it should not be just a case of sexual harassment.
The doctor's lawyer had referred to the declaration of the district administrator when asked by the dpa.
For legal reasons, he could not say more about it, he had announced.
