  • Two doctors accused of drugging, sexually assaulting woman found not guilty

TORONTO - An Ontario judge has found two doctors not guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting a medical student in 2011.

Dr. Amitabh Chauhan and Dr. Suganthan Kayilasanthan were accused of allegedly drugging and then sexually assaulting the woman after a night of drinking and dancing at a Toronto club.

Justice Julie Thorburn says she understands that the trial has been a "long and emotional journey" for all involved and that her decision might be "difficult" for some.

But she says she has reasonable doubt as to whether the victim was drugged and then sexually assaulted.

Chauhan had also been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting another woman in 2003 whom he had a relationship with years earlier.

He was found not guilty on those charges as well.
