The Phi Clinic founder is accused of assaulting a woman.
Dr Tapan Patel appeared in court on Wednesday, November 27.
Dr Patel was accused of sexually assaulting a female by ‘penetration with part of a body or thing’. The alleged attack took place on September 28, 2022, at an apartment in the Wood Crescent building in White City, formerly the BBC television centre.
Dr Patel appeared at Westminster Magistrates' court to confirm his name, date of birth and address. Following the charges being read by the court clerk, chair magistrate Sneha Kooros told him that the matter was to be referred to a higher court.
He was bailed on the condition that he does not make contact 'directly or indirectly' with the alleged victim. It is normal procedure for a magistrates court to refer more serious charges to higher court, and Dr Patel will be given the opportunity to enter a plea on December 23 at Isleworth Crown Court.
The story was first reported in The Daily Mail on November 28.
