Sex pest doctor who blamed his Nokia struck off

A PREDATORY A&E doctor who claimed he had a mobile phone in his pocket after two female colleagues accused him of being aroused in front of them has been struck off.

Dr Mohammed Yasin, 30, approached the student nurse and healthcare assistant on a hospital ward then hugged them tightly. He also moved his hands down their bodies and thrust against them, pressing his upper legs into them, while working as a locum at the New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.

At a tribunal Yasin, from Birmingham, denied sexual misconduct claiming the women may have been confused as he had a Nokia handset and car keys which were always in his trouser pocket.

A disciplinary panel in Manchester accepted Yasin ‘may have had such items in his pocket’ during the incident in April last year, but found him guilty of sexually motivated conduct. Panel chairman Richard Tutt said: ‘Dr Yasin abused the special position of trust a doctor occupies and demonstrated sexually motivated predatory behaviour.’
