A ‘cack-handed’ investigation into a doctor accused of sexually assualting his patients may have convinced women they had been attacked, a tribunal heard.
Detectives identified 125 potential victims of Dr Srinivas Yenugula in a ‘trawl’ of patient records.
His barrister Alan Jenkins described some of the police’s actions as ‘chilling.’
Women were contacted by letter or telephone and told ‘off the tape’ they were victims of crimes, the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service heard.
The locum GP accused of playing with a patient’s nipple ring while examining her breasts, has insisted there was nothing ‘sinister’ in his treatment of women.
Dr Srinivas Yenugula is accused of ‘sexually motivated conduct’ towards eleven female patients while he was working as a locum GP in the Oxford area.
The suspended family doctor, who is also known as Dr Yenugula Srinivas, is said to have carried out intimate breast, vaginal and rectal exams for his sexual thrills.
One woman broke down in tears while she told of a ‘horrible’ vaginal exam at the hands of Dr Yenugula, while another had said he ‘flicked’ her nipple ring up and down while he examined her breasts.
