Former GP jailed after sex assaults in patients
A doctor has been jailed for 10 and a half years for sexually assaulting 15 patients over a period of more than 20 years at a practice in Surrey.
Former GP Alan Tutin, 71, groped women and girls who had booked appointments for a range of minor illnesses.
Tutin gave one 22-year-old patient a breast examination in which he “squeezed them as if he was weighing them” when she had only attended because of warts on her feet.
He also groped a 12-year-old girl who was unaccompanied because her mother had died a few months earlier - she was only seeking treatment for a cold.
Judge Nigel Peters QC said: “There cannot be a more serious abuse of trust that these courts have to deal with than that of a doctor and a patient.”
