A doctor accused of sexually harassing two women has been charged with raping a third patient.

Ahmed Al-Sudani, 45, was arrested at a medical centre in Arncliffe, southern Sydney, on Friday after police received reports of sexual assault against two patients.

Police said on Wednesday that further investigations had revealed that he allegedly raped another patient in June.

The 45-year-old doctor was charged with two additional crimes: sexual intercourse without consent and sexual touching without consent.

He has already been accused of sexually touching a 28-year-old woman during a consultation on June 4 and of raping a 19-year-old woman during a consultation on June 26.

Two injunctions for the use of violence were obtained on behalf of the complainants.

Al-Sudani was released on bail in Sutherland Local Court last Friday after promising to pay $1 million if he breached any conditions.

To cover the damages, he paid the court a $200,000 bail.

The 45-year-old was banned from practicing medicine and handed over his passport to the police.

However, his release from Sydney’s Silverwater Prison was delayed until Wednesday while prosecutors decided whether to appeal the magistrate’s bail decision.
