Prosecutors have charged a longtime family practice doctor with multiple counts of fondling two women and a girl, according to court documents filed Friday morning.
Dr. Donald Nicol, 73, is accused of sexually assaulting two women, ages 21 and 19, and a girl under 14, according to criminal complaints filed in District Court on Friday morning.
Nicol was charged Thursday night with four counts of first-degree sexual assault, two counts of second-degree sexual assault, one count of third-degree sexual assault and three counts of fourth-degree sexual assault.
He is free after posting $750,000 bond and is scheduled to make his initial District Court appearance Tuesday.
The women and the girl are believed to be patients of Nicol, according to authorities.
According to court documents, the first-degree sexual assault, involving the minor, occurred July 19. The second-degree sexual assaults involved the women and reportedly took place Nov. 4 and Sept. 13.
Nicol was arrested Wednesday morning at his Kamehameha Highway office in Kahaluu — one of two he maintains. His other family practice office is in the Niu Valley Shopping Center.
Nicol did not respond to phone calls from the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on Friday.
Several online profiles of Nicol said he graduated from the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine in 1978 and did his residency at the Queen’s Medical Center.
Nicol was arrested in 1979 for sexual abuse and harassment, but the prosecutor’s office said its records don’t show the outcome of the case.
