Lancashire Telegraph
reports that Dr Bale appealed against his conviction last December and won.
Dr Bale agreed there was a dispute but did not agree he had touched the female patient. He claimed that during a ‘breakdown'between himself and the patient, she was dissatisfied with the procedure & advice and decided to make a false claim about assault.

A doctor had told the court he had just wanted to describe to her that he didn't want her to leave and was trying to do his best for her.
A judge allowed the appeal, although the judge said they didn't believe he had told the truth. The GP had earlier been given a six-month conditional discharge and was ordered to pay for £1,015 costs by the lower court. He now has no criminal convictions.
