A doctor at St Mary's Hospital has been suspended after allegations of sexual assault emerged.
Dr Chiemedo Ikpo, of Redwood Close, Newport, denied two counts of sexual assault at Isle of Wight Crown Court yesterday (Wednesday).
He stood accused of inappropriately touching one woman on August 2, 2020, and another woman on August 8, 2020.
After a not guilty plea, the case was adjourned for trial on February 20, 2023.
A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight NHS Trust said:
"Dr Ikpo’s General Medical Council (GMC) registration has been suspended and therefore he is not able to work as a doctor."
Dr Ikpo has been granted unconditional bail until the trial date.
