Doctor Michael Salmon guilty of indecent assaults | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Former doctor Michael Salmon has been found guilty of indecently assaulting girls at a hospital where Jimmy Savile abused patients. | |
The 79-year-old was found guilty of nine indecent assaults and two rapes carried out against six girls at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire. | |
Reading Crown Court heard the attacks took place between 1973 and 1988. | |
He was struck off the medical register after admitting indecent assault against female patients in 1991. | |
The court heard Salmon carried out many of his attacks behind a screen in his consulting room, while his victim's parents waited, believing he was completing a medical examination. One of the rapes he was convicted of too place at his home. | |
Although he worked at Stoke Mandeville while Jimmy Savile abused patients at the hospital, their offending is not believed to be linked, jurors heard. |
