All 9 charges of sexual assault against a Saint John City doctor have been withdrawn.
At a court appearance this morning all 9 charges were withdrawn but a reason has not been given.
8 of the 9 charges against Dr. Alan Cockeram were laid back in February.
Defence lawyer Brian Munro got into a heated exchange with the judge over the reason the charges were withdrawn, which was not revealed.
Munro says his client's name has been dragged through the mud for 14 months.
