Dr. Sean Buckingham guilty on five counts of sexual assault, six counts of trafficking painkillers such as OxyContin and Lorazepam, and one count of assault.
During the two-month trial on 18 charges at the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court in St. John's, patients described in explicit detail how Buckingham provided them drugs in exchange for money and sexual favours over a two-year span.
One of the patients broke down in tears when she testified that the 47-year-old doctor sodomized her and whipped her with a twig while she was naked and tied to a tree at a local park.
