A NATUROPATH who sexually assaulted 13 patients, some of them children, has been jailed for 16 years.
Melbourne man Michael Morris Wilson, 53, will serve at least 12 years' jail before being eligible for parole.
sentencing him today, County Court Judge Liz Gaynor described Wilson as a "callous and self-centred sexual abuser" who exploited the trust of his patients.
"I can only regard each of your victim as vulnerable females on who you preyed on remorselessly," she said.
Wilson was found guilty in May of 22 counts of indecent assault, 11 of rape and one each of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and committing an indecent act with a child under 16.
His victims were all women who sought naturopathic and massage treatment at his practices in Mont Albert and Prahran between 1987 and 2006
