Sylvester Ukabam, who is 76, was charged with seven counts of sexual assault that allegedly happened between 2010 and 2017.
The five women testified they were sexually assaulted by Ukabam during medical exams he did as a gastroenterologist — a doctor who deals with disorders of the stomach and intestines.
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Brian Scherman says in a written decision that it’s possible four of the women were mistaken about what the doctor did during their exams.
The judge says the fifth woman received a chest exam, not a breast exam as she alleged.
Ukabam says he feels vindicated by the verdict.
“The past five years have been devastating but I thank God it is all over,” Ukabam said Wednesday. “The future is good.”
