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 convicted 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. The former doctor, of Salisbury in Wiltshire, was struck off the medical register 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 He raped a 16-year-old patient on two separate occasions in his bedroom after she turned to him for help, believing she was pregnant He touched the breasts of young girls "with the pretence of listening to their heart" and carried out intimate examinations for which there was no medical need, without a nurse present and without wearing surgical gloves, jurors were told. Allegations about Salmon were first made to the Metropolitan Police in 2012 following the launch of Operation Yewtree, which is investigating historical abuse carried out by Savile and others.
Thames Valley Police, which took over the investigation into Salmon, said he claimed the allegations were "sexual fantasies" made up by "gold diggers" and described teenagers as unreliable witnesses.
