Key legal question
Whether the acquittal in criminal proceedings barred an administrative sanction against the physician.
Extracted holding
No. The acquittal did not prevent the authorities from relying on the established conduct as a basis for an administrative disciplinary measure.
Extracted reasoning
The criminal court acquitted because the sexual connotation was not proven beyond doubt, not because the acts themselves were nonexistent. The conduct remained established and could justify a professional sanction without violating the presumption of innocence.
