State’s high court considers overturned fondling charge

The case of a Connecticut doctor accused of sexually fondling his female patients will return to trial, as the state Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a recent court decision that tossed out the doctor’s conviction.

Prosecutors filed a motion in February asking the court to review a decision by the Connecticut Appellate Court that threw out the conviction of Dr. Sushil Gupta, a pulmonary physician, on multiple charges of fourth-degree sexual assault. Gupta was sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation on the charges. His license to practice medicine also was revoked by the Connecticut Medical Licensing Board.

Gupta’s attorney Hugh Keefe said he was not surprised or disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision to take up the case. “We expected this,” he said.  “But I think we have a strong appellate court argument that Dr. Gupta did not receive a fair trial and I think it will be good for the state of Connecticut overall to resolve these legal issues.”
