Edmonton Doctor Ismail Taher Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail For Groping Co-Worker

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 14 Jul, 2016 11:46 AM
  • Edmonton Doctor Ismail Taher Sentenced To 30 Days In Jail For Groping Co-Worker
EDMONTON — An Edmonton-area doctor has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for sexually assaulting a co-worker.
 
Ismail Taher, who is 38, was also given two years probation.
 
The woman said he touched her breasts and buttocks in 2013.
 
Taher was given a suspended sentence for common assault on another female co-worker, also in 2013.
 
Last month, the Alberta Court of Appeal denied Taher's appeal of a sexual assault conviction on an 18-year-old patient.
 
He was found guilty in 2015 of groping the woman who went to a medicentre in Sherwood Park about a possibly infected nose piercing in August 2013.
 
The woman said Taher massaged her breasts and touched her buttocks while looking at her other piercings.
 
Taher was sentenced to 12 months probation for that crime.
