Dr Admits Filming Sex Offences Against Patients
A family doctor has been sentenced to 12 years in jail after pleading guilty to 39 sex offences.
45-year-old Davinder Jeet Bains, who worked as a GP at a medical practice in Royal Wootton Bassett, used a secret camera in his wristwatch to film himself abusing 27 women, aged from 14 to 51, between July 2010 and May 2012.
According to the BBC he was uncovered after a woman, who suspected she had been filmed in a shower, made a complaint.
Police found the watch and some 360 video clips during a raid at the surgery.
Passing sentence at Swindon Crown Court Judge Douglas Field is quoted as telling Bains he was “a disgrace to the medical profession".
Bains has been added to the sex offenders register, for an indefinite period, banned from owning any digital video recording equipment and from entering Royal Wootton Bassett.
The General Medical Council also suspended him from practising.
