OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada has shut the door on a Calgary psychiatrist's request to appeal three convictions for sexually assaulting his court-appointed patients.
Dr. Aubrey Levin (leh-VEEN'), was found guilty by a jury in January 2013 and was sentenced to five years in prison.
He had asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal of his convictions, but that request has been denied.
As always, the top court did not give reasons for its decision.
Allegations against Levin came to light in 2010 after one of his patients came forward with secret videos he had recorded during sessions with the psychiatrist.
Levin, who immigrated to Canada from South Africa, was frequently used by the courts to assess people and provide expert opinions at hearings.
