Beast doc caged for sex attacks on 2 dates
A DISGRACED doctor who raped a teenager and sexually assaulted another woman was yesterday jailed for six years.
Khalid Jamal, 45, met his victims on a dating site and lied that he was in his 20s.
He took them to his home where he invited them to look at pet fish in his bedroom before attacking them.
Jamal wept in the dock as Judge Johanna Johnston told him: “You subjected both of your victims to sexual assaults and raped one of them.
“You met them through the internet and told them you were in your 20s.
“Each young woman has been profoundly affected by your behaviour.”
Jamal’s first victim, now 27, had gone out with him on a number of occasions.
On Christmas Eve 2013, he attacked her in his flat in Glasgow’s Great Western Road after she refused to have sex.
Jamal raped his second victim, then 19, at his ”cabin” in Balloch, Dunbartonshire, between April and May 2016.
The 19-year-old saw him again that September and he promised to drive her home from a night out.
Instead he took her to his flat in Parkhead, Glasgow, and sexually assaulted her.
Jamal continues to protest his innocence. He claims he had consensual sex with both victims and that they lied in evidence.
But a jury at the High Court in Glasgow convicted him of raping and sexually abusing the teenager and sexually abusing the other woman.
In his police interview, Jamal claimed he was a doctor and “wanted to help people”.
Defence counsel Sarah Livingstone said Jamal, from India, had been lonely since coming to Scotland and had used the internet to meet people.
She added that he claimed he did not go on the internet to target young women.
She said: “Mr Jamal recognises that offences like these are abhorrent, but he insists that he had been wrongly convicted.”
Judge Johnston told him: “As a doctor for many years, you served the community and you were involved in charity work.
“But given the nature of these offences, only a significant custodial sentence is appropriate.”
