Judge Geoff Rea and a jury of seven men and five women had been told by Crown prosecutor Steve Manning in a trial which started on May 22 that Lim, described in court by his own counsel Harry Waalkens QC, of Auckland, as "overtly gay", administered the sedative Midazolam to disable the complainants to render them incapable of rejecting his sexual advances.
An investigation started after a woman heard her 18-year-old school-student son yell from a cubicle, while with the doctor during treatment of a broken little finger: "You better not be touching my balls."
The mother entered the cubicle and found the doctor beside the teen, who was lying with with his trousers off and a towel over his waist. The mother knew immediately her son would not have taken his own trousers off, because they were folded, and he never folded his clothes. The nurse told the court Lim had been caught as if it had been with a "hand in the cookie jar".
The youth could later not remember removing his trousers, but had memories of the doctor touching his penis, but found it difficult to believe.
In evidence Lim denied touching the youth inappropriately, but said he had touched a complainant's penis in a toilet cubicle to stop the patient urinating on the floor.
Bespectacled and with his hair tied back, Lim stood motionless in the dock between two Corrections officers as the jury foreperson delivered the verdicts from counts 1-to-13, varying from the condemning course only on numbers 5, 6 and 9.
The Doctors Hastings general manager Janine Jensen had last night not commented publicly on the case.
Indecent assault in New Zealand carries a maximum penalty of seven years, the judge being expected to take into account the eight months' span across the offences, with remorse unlikely to be considered a factor because of Lim's denials.
The doctor was understood to have otherwise had an unblemished record.
Judge Rea yesterday thanked the jury, who had started deliberating before noon on Thursday and made its last decisions an hour after it resumed consideration at 9.30am yesterday.
Judge Rea said the trial had progressed without a minute of lost time. He would have excused jury members from further service for five years, had it not been for recent changes in the rules. But he advised that if called for jury service again in that time, jurors should mention that they had been through the trial over the last two weeks.
