VANCOUVER/CKNW(AM980) - A Vancouver dentist has been handed a 12-month conditional sentence after being found guilty of sexually assaulting several patients.

The move means Dr. Oleg Gavrilko escapes jail time.

The 46-year old was originally charged with assaulting seven-patients at his Commercial Drive clinic, but was only convicted on four of the counts.

Gavrilko has since been banned from practicing dentistry by the college of dental surgeons.
