Chelsea doctor accused of sex assaults, voyeurism no longer under house arrest
A Chelsea doctor accused of secretly filming a female patient and sexually assaulting 10 more patients dating back to 1995, is no longer under house arrest.
Dr. Vincent Nadon, 56, had his bail conditions loosened on Wednesday, the same day he was charged with 10 more counts of sexual assault. The doctor’s house arrest was only for 30 days to give Ottawa police detectives more time in their sprawling investigation. Nadon was first charged with sex assault and voyeurism after a patient in her 20s reported a Jan. 16 incident in which the doctor is accused of secretly filming her during a medical exam at a University of Ottawa Health Services clinic.
When police announced the doctor’s arrest, more patients came forward with allegations of sexual assault. After he was initially charged, Nadon was removed from his position at the clinic and banned from practising at all other U of O health clinics.
Police searched Nadon’s Chelsea home for evidence after his arrest and he won bail after his wife and brother posted $10,000 each as sureties. While Nadon is no longer under house arrest, he remains under strict bail conditions and is not allowed to use any recording devices and can’t access the internet without his wife or brother looking over his shoulder. The doctor is also banned from communicating with any of his former patients.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario is also investigating the doctor.
None of the allegations against Nadon has been tested in court.
Police are still investigating and have launched a tip line for anyone with information about the case at 613-236-1222, ext. 5760 or email mcm@ottawapolice.ca.
