22nd April 2025
Anthony Haycroft represented a Consultant Surgeon at the Crown Court at Wolverhampton facing five allegations of sexual touching involving three patients during clinical assessments for planned surgery. The trial lasted 11 days, with the first two days dealing with a series of legal applications concerning the complainants and the doctor, covering bad character, cross-examination on sexual matters, special measures and live links. The defence called expert evidence as regards the techniques used during the assessments. The jury took about two hours to return unanimous verdicts of not guilty on all five counts, and the doctor was discharged.
Anthony Haycroft was instructed by Ian Sadler, Maisie Heely and Erin Brass of Weightmans London, on behalf of Dr Nicholas of the Medical Protection Society.
