Greek Australian doctor charged with 148 counts of rape and sexual assault

According to the country's media, this is 74-year-old Stellios "Stan" Theodoros, who is expected to appear in court on June 23. According to ABC Australia, the authorities have charged the former doctor with 94 charges related to rape and another 54 charges of sexual assault, following complaints from women who were examined by him during his professional activity.

According to the police, the investigation began in August 2025, when the Upper Mount Gravatt Criminal Investigation Department created Operation "Xray Cariyna", following reports from several women to the police authorities.

Police allege that from the early 2000s to 2015, the 74-year-old sexually assaulted 15 women aged from their late teens to around 40, while working as a GP at a medical centre in Tarragindi.

The former GP worked for many years at Wellers Hill Medical Centre, until his retirement in 2021, and was also removed from his position as a company director last year.

Detective Sergeant Denis Silk urged anyone with information about the case to contact the Upper Mount Gravatt Crime Investigation Unit or anonymously with Crime Stoppers, stressing that the investigations remain open.

One of the former patients who filed a complaint told the ABC that the charges were a “huge relief”, noting that they were “long overdue”.

A few months ago, it was already announced that the doctor in question had been indefinitely banned from reapplying for a medical licence.

The Queensland Civil & Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) had ruled that the former doctor had been carrying out tests on female patients not out of medical necessity, but out of “sexual motivation”.

According to the court’s findings, he had followed a repeated pattern of inappropriate behaviour against at least seven women over a number of years, carrying out excessive and unjustified Pap tests, breast examinations and vaginal examinations without medical indication.

The QCAT described his behavior as particularly serious, noting that it went far beyond the limits of normal clinical practice and that many of his actions appeared to be dictated by a search for "sexual gratification."
