There has been a delay in setting a date for a preliminary hearing on 9 charges of sexual assault laid against a Saint John doctor.
More charges were not laid against Dr. Alan Cockeram although his lawyer Brian Munro says they're pending. Munro told the court he was having trouble getting disclosure from the prosecution with the explanation that the investigation is ongoing and he may have to go to the Court of Queen's Bench.
The prosecution says more people have come forward.
Munro is suggesting some of the complaints may be frivolous.
The case has been adjourned to July 18th to have a date set for a preliminary hearing.
