Dr Timothy Girling, 55, from West Molesey in Surrey, sexually assaulted and performed sex acts on patients under the guise of examining them for complaints of rashes or other health issues, a court heard. A jury at Bournemouth Crown Court convicted him of sexual assault, voyeurism and attempted voyeurism, and he also admitted making indecent images of children. One victim told police: "I left there crying because it was very wrong and he just abused his power." The victim added: "I was a very, very vulnerable person back then, I was in a really dark place." The court heard Girling used his phone to secretly film appointments and set up a camera to film other men using a bathroom.
