Guilty, rapist GP who met victims via online dating
A DOCTOR was last night behind bars for raping a teenager and sexually assaulting another woman.
Khalid Jamal, 45, met the women on a dating website and took them to his house, where he invited them to view pet fish he kept in his bedroom.
His first victim, now aged 27, said she had been out with Jamal on several occasions and there had been consensual sex, but on Christmas Eve 2013 Jamal invited her to see his new fish.
He pushed her down from behind, pinned her down and groped her while he tried to persuade her to have sex.
He only stopped when she convinced him she would return to his flat in Glasgow’s West End the next day if he did. The witness told the High Court in Glasgow: ‘I just felt lucky, lucky nothing worse happened.’
Jamal suggested to his second victim, then 19, they go to his home in April or May 2016.
He raped her while the teenager screamed at him to get off then ‘gave up trying to fight him’ until the attack ended. Jamal then took the teenager home and she later sent him a message saying she did not want to speak to him because he had hurt her.
She saw him again in September that year, when Jamal – who previously worked at a GP practice in Alexandria, Dunbartonshire, but who has been suspended by the General Medical Council – promised to drive her home from a night out.
Instead he took her to his home, saying he had
‘Gave up trying to fight him’
had ‘a shot of alcohol’ and would need to rest first. The girl said there was a ‘weird conversation about going to see his fish’.
She said she wept as he sexually assaulted her in his bedroom.
Indian-born Jamal – who told his victims he was in his twenties – denied the allegations and claimed any sexual contact was consensual.
But the jury convicted him of raping and sexually assaulting the teenager and sexually assaulting the 27-year-old.
Judge Johanna Johnston, QC, deferred sentence on Jamal until next month.
