South suburban podiatrist Anthony Overton was found guilty Monday of two counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault by Circuit Judge Michael P. Toomin following a bench trial.

He will receive at least 12 years in prison and possibly as many as 60.

Overton, 64, of Olympia Fields was on trial in Cook County Criminal Court for allegedly fondling an elderly woman and giving her a vaginal and rectal examination.

Prosecutors had argued that Overton was not acting within reasonable medical standards when he administered breast and vaginal exams on a patient seeking treatment for foot pain. The woman, who was 75 at the time, had sought treatment for a sprained ankle in 2006.

Overton explained that he frequently gave full-body physicals to patients to diagnose other problems that might affect their feet. He said it sometimes is necessary to conduct breast, vaginal and rectal exams to check for other ailments.
