Sydney dentist stripped and indecently assaulted multiple young women
Two of three young women sexually violated by a Sydney dentist have described the harrowing impact of his crimes in emotional court scenes. Under the guise of a mandatory skin check at his practice in Sydney’s south, 62-year-old Maged Fouad Farag told one young woman to remove her clothes and lie naked on a dental chair before touching her breasts and genitals, she told Downing Centre District Court. Farag faced a sentence hearing on Wednesday for five sexual offences against three women across five years to 2024.
An agreed statement of facts state that Farag sucked one woman’s nipple, photographed another woman naked and used a combination of ruses such as skin checks and massages to commit his crimes. The victims were aged 19, 21 and 25.
