Urgent: York Region Doctor Charged with Sexual Assault of Patient

UPDATE: A York Region physician has been charged with two counts of sexual assault following alarming allegations involving a patient. The accused, Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, aged 62, has over 30 years of medical practice and is based in Whitchurch-Stouffville.

According to police reports, the incidents occurred at a medical clinic located on Markham Road. The first alleged assault took place during a patient appointment on July 7, 2023, where it is claimed that Dr. Abdel Malak touched the complainant inappropriately. The patient immediately left the appointment and reported the incident to law enforcement.

In a shocking twist, while speaking with investigators, the complainant recalled a second incident dating back to November 2023, during a prior visit to the same clinic. Police revealed that this earlier conduct was not reported at the time, as the complainant believed the doctor’s actions may have been part of a medical procedure.

Authorities are now urging anyone who may have additional information or who might be another victim to come forward. Police have released an image of Dr. Abdel Malak to aid in their investigation, emphasizing the need for public assistance in this case.

This developing story has raised significant concerns within the community, prompting many to question the safety of patients in medical environments. As investigations continue, police are committed to uncovering the full extent of the allegations against Dr. Abdel Malak.

Residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior. The potential for more victims to emerge remains high, as investigators believe there may be others who have not yet come forward.

Stay tuned for further updates on this urgent case as it unfolds.
