Judge hands down 12-month conditional sentence for inappropriate touching, 11 months probation
A physiotherapist who faced sexual assault charges for inappropriate touching at a Chilliwack clinic in 2019 will not spend any time behind bars.
Amrutkar, who was 39 at the time, had initially been charged with eight counts of sexual assault for inappropriately touching patients during treatments at a Chilliwack clinic. Before he was arrested in 2020 over two counts, Amrutkar had previously entered into a voluntary consent agreement for an inquiry by the College of Physical Therapists of B.C. after a complaint by a female patient alleging he “engaged in touching which appeared to be non-therapeutic in nature.”
The trial in 2023 heard testimony from two witnesses before it ended. The names of both women, and six other complainants who came forward later, were protected throughout the proceedings by a publication ban.
