Psychiatrist in court for 30-year-old rape

Via this report

A former psychiatrist has pleaded not guilty in Perth Magistrate's Court today to a number of sex offences that allegedly occurred in the 1970s.

Police allege Alan John Stubley was a practicing psychiatrist in Kings Park Road, West Perth at the time of the alleged offences and the victim was a woman who was receiving treatment.

It is alleged the offences, including one count of indecent assault and six counts of rape, occurred during the woman's therapy sessions.

Detective Sergeant Greg Balfour said at a press conference today that the woman had been a patient of Dr Stubley for some years.

Dr Stubley was granted bail and scheduled to re-appear in the same court in December.
