A former Fayetteville

obstetrician and gynecologist was convicted Tuesday of making inappropriate

physical advances towards two employees at his local clinic, which has

since been shut down.

Dr. Orlando

Cano, 66, was convicted Tuesday afternoon of two misdemeanor counts of

sexual battery by a six-person Fayette County State Court Jury. The conviction

has been reported to the Georgia board that licenses physicians so a determination

can be made on whether Cano's license to practice medicine can be revoked,

Solicitor General Steve Harris said Wednesday.

One employee

testified that Dr. Cano touched her breasts and another testified that

he touched her breasts and buttock. Cano did not testify but his attorney

argued that the incidents didn't occur, but he may have brushed too close

to the women in the "crowded" office environment.

One of the

victims lives in Stockbridge and the other lives in McDonough.

Sentencing

in the case has been scheduled for Monday, Oct. 13.
