High-profile surgeon charged with rape

0:00The long-term partner of former Queensland Premier and Estasia Palaché has been charged with multiple counts of rape. Live to Declan Milton now, Declan, Dr Reseradib left the Southport station a short time ago. Well, his time here was only brief, Laura, but Dr Reseradib now faces six charges, including three of rape. He was at the station just 24 hours after his luxury beachfront apartment at Burley Heads was raided. The 65-year-old arrived here to be met by what was a big press park. He tried to run past reporters and smirked a camera cruise as he approached them. And as well as being understages, understages of Palaché's partner, he is a high profile Brisbane-based weight loss surgeon. Dr Reseradib's accuser is a woman in her 30s. The alleged rape is said to have happened at his Burley apartment on Monday. The 30th of March this year, and that's where seven news cameras captured police searching

However, she did attend an event last night on the Gold Coast, where a journalist in the audience asked her about the investigation. Take a listen to what she had to say. Will he still be showing your support towards him considering the current police investigation? I'm not aware of any of that, so I can't believe it. Along with the three rape charges, Laura, Dr Adib now faces two counts of deprivation of Liberty, one count of sexual assault. He was granted police bail today from Southport Police. He will have to face a magistrate here in the fortnight's time, Laura. Declan Milton, thank you.
