a former GP On patients, including two teenage boys, are facing jail after conducting “unnecessary” genital examinations.
The 56 -year -old Gregory Manson has still been found guilty of taking the waist examination when his patients came with cough, headache, back pain and knee sprains.
Some of his accused said that they pulled down their underwear without their permission.
Manson told gamblers Canterbury crown court That their medical examinations were “not all sexually motivated” and instead were based on excluding rare diseases, which they had wrongly diagnosed in the past.
After working basically South AfricaManson qualified as a GP in the UK in 1998 and also worked as the Program Director of GP Training and Program of GP Trainer for the General Medical Council before his dismissal in 2017.
Manson, Tower Way, CanterburyIn relation to nine victims, 18 crimes of sexual harassment and six indecent attacks were denied.
On Thursday, he looked at the floor as gamblers in the Cantorbury Crown Court, returning his decision after 10 hours and 29 minutes of consultation.
Manson was convicted by a majority decisions of 12 sexual attacks and four indecent attacks against nine people that took place in about two decades.
He was not found guilty of six offenses, and two other optional allegations that did not require the verdict.
Judge Simon Taylor Casey warned Manson: “It will be a jail sentence, so you need to prepare for it.”
During the trial, the prosecution stated that “several examinations they performed were not medically appropriate” and the other GP would not have excluded them.
Jennifer Knight Casey said, “Really Dr. Manson continued to get opportunities to examine the genitals of the patients, not because they needed it, because he wanted.”
The former GP had the first two victims of two victims, and he was 16 years old, before and after his doctor was heard by the court.
They both remember that they were being taken to an examination hall next to the advisory room before sitting on the bed and being asked to pull their trousers and boxer shorts down.
The elder brother’s medical notes suggest that he was viewed 11 times by Manson between the ages of 14 and 19, and he remembered that his genitals were being investigated at more than half of those trips.
Ms. Knight said: “The examination was done to her (victim) professionally and as a young teenager, she believed that she was required.
“As he grew up, he became uncomfortable about these exams and was surprised whether he should be so often.”
His mother told the investigators that she never met the former GP when she was a young teenager as she would stay in the waiting room.
Many examinations are related to the fact that the former GP said “Well Person Czech”, which was introduced to new patients in the surgery, for which they worked, the court heard the court.
Giving evidence last week, Manson said: “The part of your work in the form of GP is the prevention of disease and health enhancement, we do so all the time.
“You are looking for any pathology or disease that can be touching that someone is not necessary.”
Forensic Medicine and GP, a professor of Ian Wall, was “surprised” that Manson considered Manson’s medical notes during a review of the test of the examination of a new patient, the gamblers heard during the test.
Manson said: “When I worked in South Africa, especially in many hospitals that did not have the facility to further investigate things, your training was very high and was fully with examinations. An MRI was not available in Sweeto.”
He told the court about his initial work as a GP and why he lost the patients more “completely”.
The former GP said that each doctor recalled his “first death”, and he had a person who was initially thought as stomach ulcer, but was actually a stomach aortic artery.
“When you have such experiences and you examine a stomach you are haunted,” Manson said.
Opening the case, Ms. Knight told the gamblers: “Dr. Manson demonstrated unnecessary examinations of the genitals of male patients, offered any proper explanation to patients associated with the causes of chapron or the causes of examination, and without wearing gloves.
“Dr. Manson has also failed to documents in patients’ notes that such examinations were done or what their conclusions were if any.”
After he was convicted, Wil Bodium told the Crown Prosecution Service: “These patients trusted Manson as he was his GP and he abused the belief in a terrible manner that carried out intimate examinations, which were not all medically appropriate.
He said, “He described his inconvenience as to what happened to him and some of them actively tried to avoid seeing Manson due to his previous experiences.
“On several occasions, the victims were not even given the option to agree to the examinations and their underwear was removed without any warning.”
He said: “This is not what patients should expect from their GPS.”
Manson will be sentenced on July 4, and remains on bail until then with new terms of residence and does not enter an international airport, train station or port.
