ESTEVAN — A charge of sexual assault has been stayed against Estevan's Mehdi Horri.
Horri was charged with the offence by the Estevan Police Service in late March, and his case was in Estevan Provincial Court a few times since, with his most recent docket appearance occurring on July 8. It was scheduled to be back before the court on Aug. 12, but it was not listed on the docket for that day.
In an email to the Mercury and SaskToday, the provincial court confirmed that the charge had been stayed.
Horri's lawyer, Darren Kraushaar, had previously stated that Horri denied the allegation.
Horri, who is a physician in Estevan, is still facing 14 charges of "unprofessional conduct" from the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons; those allegations were announced in January. He has a hearing scheduled for Nov. 12-28.
His status is currently listed as on the register with the college, but he cannot see female patients.
