A Mesa doctor accused of sexually abusing or assaulting a dozen of his female patients has been acquitted in the case.

Maricopa County prosecutors say jurors Wednesday found 45-year-old Gabriel Ogbonnaya not guilty on 11 counts of sex abuse and not guilty on one count of sexual assault.

The Arizona Medical Board suspended Ogbonnaya’s license in June 2010 after Mesa police arrested him.

Ogbonnaya was first arrested in June 2010 after two women reported they were both inappropriately touched by the doctor during routine visits.
