A former psychiatrist in Queensland, Australia has been charged with two counts of rape.

The 48-year-old psychiatrist, who has not yet been named per Australian law, has not as yet been required to enter any pleas to the charges and remains at large on bail.  No particular details of the case were aired in court but it is believed both charges relate to the one complainant who is believed to have been a patient at the time of the alleged incidents said to have occurred in about 2013.
