A second-year student with the clinic was assigned and allegedly touched the woman inappropriately several times and left her feeling uncomfortable.

The woman reported the matter to clinic staff, who launched an internal investigation and informed police.

Police say the 21-year-old accused is believed to have attended the clinic from January 2024 to last month. He is to appear in court Wednesday.
