Ex-GP found guilty of sex offences after carrying out ‘unnecessary’ genital exams

An old GP is in jail after having “unnecessary” genital examinations in patients, including two young men.

56 -year -old Gregory Manson, patients cough, headache, back pain and knee sprains, even if he was found guilty of conducting the groin exams.

Some accusors said he had pulled his underwear down without asking for their permission.

Manson, Canterbury Crown Court, jury members, medical examinations are not “sexually motivated”, and instead of the rare diseases that have been misused in the past, he said.

After working in South Africa, Manson was described as GP in England in 1998 and also worked as a GP instructor, GP Training Program Director and GP valuation specialist before his dismissal in 2017.

Tower Way rejected 18 sexual assaults and six inappropriate attacks on nine victims of Canterbury.

On Thursday, he looked at the ground while returning the decisions of the jury members in Canterbury Crown Court after 10 hours and 29 minutes of negotiation.

Manson was sentenced to 12 sexual assaults and four immoral attacks against nine men who had been taking place for more than twenty years.

There were no guilty of six crimes, and the other two were alternative charges that did not require decisions.

Judge Simon Taylor Kc warned Manson: “This will be a prison sentence, so you have to prepare for it.”

During the hearing, the prosecution said that “many of his exams are not medically justified” and other GPs will not perform them.

“In fact, Dr Manson frequently received opportunities to examine the sexual organs of patients, but not because he wanted,” Jennifer Knight Kc said.

The court was the two oldest victims of the old GP and before and after the age of 16.

Both remember that they were taken to an exam room next to the counselor before they were told to sit on bed and pull their trousers and boxers down.

His brother’s medical notes showed that Manson was seen by Manson 11 times between the ages of 14 and 19, and he remembered that his genitals were examined on more than half of these visits.

Mrs Knight said: “The exams seemed to be done professionally (the sacrifice) and assumed that they were necessary as a young teenager.

“As he got older, he was uncomfortable with these exams and wondered if they had to be so frequent.”

His mothers told the inspectors that he had never met the old GP when they were young because they stayed in the waiting room.

Most of the exams are about what the former GP, who was offered to new patients in the surgery, called “good person controls ..

Manson, who gave evidence last week, said, “As GP, some of your business is disease prevention and health development, we always do this.

“You are looking for any pathology or disease that may be asymptomatic because someone is not aware of it.”

Forensic Medicine and GP Professor Ian Wall was “surprised” that Manson was thinking of a part of a new patient control during Manson’s medical notes.

Manson added: “In South Africa, especially when I worked in many hospitals without facilities to investigate something, your education was very comprehensive in examinations and exams. There was no MRI in Soweto.”

He told the court to work early as a GP and why losing patients made more “comprehensive” investigations.

The old GP said that every doctor remembered his “first deaths ve and that he was a man who was initially thought to be stomach ulcers but actually had a abdominal aneurysm.

Manson said, “When you have experiences like this and you are perili when you examine a belly,” Manson said.

Ms. Knight, who opened the case, said to the jury members:

“Dr Manson also could not note that patients had such exams or what their findings were.”

After his conviction, Will Bodam, the Royal Prosecutor’s Office said: “These patients trusted Manson as GPs and exploited this confidence in a terrifying way, and all of them did not justify intimate exams that were not justified.

“They told them about their discomfort to them, and some tried to avoid seeing Manson because of their previous experience.

“A few times, victims were not even given the option to consent to exams and removed their underwear without any warning.”

“This is not what patients should expect from their GPs.”

Manson will be sentenced on July 4, and until then it will remain with bail with new residence conditions and have not entered an international airport, train station or harbor.
