Heart doctor ‘groped teen girl while her mother was in room’
alleged victim, in her 20s, went to Basu after suffering a rapid heartbeat, palpitations and chest pains.
During her first three visits, the woman was allegedly left “confused” when he examined her breasts.
Ms Llewellyn-Waters said: “The defendant came from behind. At first, he listened to her heart but he then told her that he was going to check her breasts. She placed her trust in him as her doctor.”
At a fourth appointment, she told Basu she had suffered a urinary infection. He put on a pair of gloves and sexually assaulted her between the legs, the jury was told.
Fellow consultant cardiologist Dr Mark Dayer told police there was no clinical need for a breast or internal examination, the jury heard.
Basu also allegedly questioned the woman about her sex life and whether it hurt when she made love.
She complained to police and Basu was arrested. When she heard he had been charged, she said she “felt shocked and sick”.
Reporting of the allegations prompted the two other young women to independently contact detectives, the court heard.
The second alleged victim in her 20s claimed Basu fondled her breasts and the teenager reported sexual contact between her legs as well as breast-fondling.
Basu, of Lewisham, counts of sexual assault.
The trial continues. denies
