There
has been a delay in setting a date for a preliminary hearing on 9
charges of sexual assault laid against a Saint John doctor.
More
charges were not laid against Dr. Alan Cockeram although his lawyer
Brian Munro says they're pending. Munro told the court he was having
trouble getting disclosure from the prosecution with the explanation
that the investigation is ongoing and he may have to go to the Court of
Queen's Bench.
The prosecution says more people have come forward.
Munro is suggesting some of the complaints may be frivolous.
The case has been adjourned to July 18th to have a date set for a preliminary hearing.
