[/floatr]A doctor has been arrested on sexual assault charges. Yoshiaki Horie (right) was conducting an endoscopic colon examination of a patient in her twenties when his knowledge of human biology deserted him and he attempted to insert the endoscope up her fanny. The woman protested but the registered nurse who attended the examination was momentarily absent so there was no witness to the incident. This all took place in May 2004 but the woman only notified police of her complaint in February of this year because the statute of limitations comes into effect five years after the crime. She decided that she didn't want to see the doctor escape justice and realized the police would need to investigate her claims if they were to make an arrest in time.
