A former nurse will face time in jail after being found guilty of molesting two female patients and a student nurse.
Ali Khamis Moh'd faced trial in Parramatta District Court accused of eight separate instances of either non-consensual sexual touching or rape.
He disputed the allegations, claiming he was merely performing medical procedures instead of anything sexual.
On Tuesday, a jury partially rejected these claims, finding the 44-year-old was guilty of molesting three separate women.
He had been working as a clinical nurse specialist at Sydney's Norwest and Nepean private hospitals between December 2018 and March 2022 when his crimes were committed.
After 14 hours of deliberations, the jury found Moh'd grabbed a 21-year-old student nurse's underwear, pulling it away from her skin to see her genitals as he taught her how to listen for bowel sounds using a stethoscope.
Jurors accepted further complaints by a 25-year-old patient that Moh'd had asked to inspect a surgical wound on her groin area, massaging it before touching her vagina with his fingers.
Allegations by a 67-year-old heart surgery patient were only partially found to be true.
Moh'd was found to have touched the woman's breasts while replacing heart monitoring stickers to her body after she had a shower ahead of her operation.
But the jury found him not guilty of two further allegations regarding this patient, including that he squeezed her nipple while replacing the stickers and later massaged her back with cream in a sexualised manner.
They also rejected claims by another patient who had gone in for heart surgery.
The 58-year-old alleged that Moh'd inserted his finger into her anus while he gave her an enema and later put his finger into her vagina while shaving her groin area.
The jury found him not guilty of those allegations.
He was taken into custody after the verdicts and will face a sentence hearing on September 27.
