STORY: "Witness says sex assault by psychiatrist promted suicide attempt: Levin trial." published by the Calgary Herald on November 23, 2012.
GIST: "A
Calgary man says he visited several hospital emergency rooms for help,
then attempted suicide by slicing his wrists and taking an overdose of
medication, two days after former forensic psychiatrist Dr. Aubrey Levin
sexually assaulted him during an appointment. G.G. told Crown
prosecutor Dallas Sopko on Friday that Levin suddenly and unexpectedly
grabbed his testicles while he was seeing the doctor for depression. He
said the incident on March 27, 2009, lasted about 10 seconds. He also
got no explanation from Levin beforehand what he was about to do and
nothing afterward as to why he did it. "I looked away and grimaced
in pain," said GG. "I turned to the side, then he stopped. By the time I
had turned, he had moved straight to my feet. I was surprised to see
him move that fast. The witness said Levin immediately grabbed a
pen from his pocket after he touched his testicles, then began running
it up and down the souls of his feet to test his reflexes, as if nothing
has happened. G.G. said he had had testicular examinations
previously, but they were much shorter and did not involve pain. He said
Levin was not using gloves and that all other doctors had used such
protection."
