Stephan Probst, the former head of the nuclear medicine at the Jewish General Hospital, was released on bail on Friday following his second arrest on sexual assaults charges involving seven women.
Probs, 47, was already out on bail awaiting sentencing for a previous sexual assault conviction when he was arrested last week.
Many details of the case are under a publication ban.
Last August, he and his girlfriend were found guilty of drugging and sexually abusing a woman the couple had met online.
Probst had convinced the court to release him on bail while awaiting his sentence and filing his appeal.
After Probst’s conviction made headlines, more women came forward with similar stories of abuse, leading to his re-arrest.
The prosecution sough to have Probst’s earlier bail revoked and keep him in custody until trail, but the Quebec court judge ruled that his release conditions were sufficient.
