The Times- Doctor arrested for alleged sex assault on child patient

 Doctor arrested for alleged sex assault on child patient

An NHS hospital doctor has been arrested on suspicion of child sexual assault, and police have begun a review of hundreds of patient records.

Concerns were first raised about the 34-year-old almost four years ago. He was allowed to return to work at the Royal Stoke University Hospital after a police inquiry.

It is understood two complaints include the examination of two girls aged seven and 15 at the Stoke hospital. The alarm was raised while the doctor was working at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley in 2021. He was excluded from the hospital trust in March and in October the General Medical Council suspended him. The doctor was arrested in December. Detectives have identified nine potential child victims.

Staffordshire police have launched Operation Anzu with the NHS, a major incident review that will look at the doctor’s work at both hospitals. Hundreds of files, including those of vulnerable adults, are being reviewed. Helplines have been set up for patients. At least 109 have been identified as cases of concern. The doctor worked in accident and emergency departments at both hospitals, and in obstetrics and gynaecology at Dudley.

He was suspended from seeing patients in 2018 when the parents of a vulnerable female raised concerns about his examination of her. An inquiry identified concerns about the doctor that included other patients. The case was escalated to senior managers at the University Hospitals of North Midlands trust who began a formal investigation, contacting Staffordshire police and the General Medical Council.

The doctor was suspended for about 12 months. He returned to work in 2019 after police decided that there was a lack of evidence to take the matter further.

The Staffordshire force has reported itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which said: “We assessed a referral from Staffordshire police in December and decided on the information available that the force should continue to deal with the matter.”

The doctor completed his initial two-year training and moved to a new job in Dudley in August 2020. It is understood that an alarm was raised in 2021 after he was the subject of two complaints over the examinations of the two girls.

The doctor was excluded from the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust in March last year and restrictions were put on his practice by the General Medical Council. He was suspended from practising in October.

Seven sex attacks in women’s jails by transgender convicts The Times 11.05.20

Seven sex attacks in women’s jails by transgender convicts The Times 11.05.20 Transgender prisoners are five times more likely to carry out sex attacks on inmates at women’s jails than other prisoners are, official figures show. Male prisoners who were transferred to women’s jails during gender reassignment and women inmates who are transitioning committed seven of the 124 sex attacks recorded between 2010 and 2018. They occurred at HMP Low Newton in Co Durham, Foston Hall in Derbyshire, Peterborough, Bronzefield in Middlesex and New Hall, West Yorkshire. Karen White, a child abuser who dressed as a woman but was still legally a man, was jailed for life in 2018 for sexually assaulting two prisoners at HMP New Hall and the rape of a woman while he was outside jail. Lord Keen of Elie, the Ministry of Justice spokesman in the Lords, told Labour’s Baroness McDonagh, in a written answer that there had been five attacks. The Ministry of Justice later updated the response to include White’s a

But while Challenor has now gone, her reappearance in the headlines — and the way in which Reddit mishandled this story — is a revealing and disturbing insight into the transgender debate. It all began with an  article  I wrote for these pages on Green party gender madness in which I briefly mentioned Challenor’s suspension from the party in 2018. It was a scandal that Challenor did not wish to see dragged up. When a moderator of the popular UK politics community on Reddit shared that article, mentioning Challenor by name, the post was removed and the moderator banned. Had Challenor persuaded the powers that be at Reddit to prevent users from
