A Bremerton doctor who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting five female patients during exams at a clinic has been sentenced to nine months in jail.
49-year-old Darren Chotiner received the maximum sentence in Kitsap County Superior Court Monday.
Chotiner was initially charged in 2015 with second-degree rape and indecent liberties for assaults on women at Peninsula Community Health Services, but he pleaded guilty to lesser charges last month.
The charges involve five victims, but the judge ordered Chotiner to not have contact with 22 women listed as victims in court documents.
Nine women have sued the nonprofit clinic in federal court, alleging clinic officials failed to properly supervise the doctor.
