A Lincolnshire doctor has been struck off after it emerged he sent X-rated messages to a junior female colleague in an attempt to get her into bed.

Julian Proctor, 37, sent the woman - who he worked alongside him at Boston Pilgrim Hospital – 900 WhatsApp messages including a video of himself performing a sex act in the shower and another image of him in his underwear.

A tribunal heard that despite the woman stated she wasn’t interested in a relationship with the doctor and getting her boyfriend to warn him off, Mr Proctor remained persistent and would squeeze her bottom.

But when questioned about the allegations at a disciplinary tribunal, he insisted “she wanted a piece of the pie”.

Proctor told the panel: “I was pretty popular and she wanted to engage with me as well.



“Nothing was going to stop me. I was pretty popular I think that she was interested in me and my life.”





The Medical Practitioners Tribunal found Proctor guilty of squeezing the doctor’s bottom on a number of occasions and repeatedly trying to hold her hand. He also took hold of her waist and tried to squeeze her inner thigh.



The junior, in her 20s, also told how Proctor slapped her bottom after leaving a lift and asked: “How much do you fancy me?’’



She said: “I thought that people would make fun of me if I took Dr Proctor seriously and believed him so I tried to brush it all off.



“I was very polite and clear in my insistence that I did not want any type of intimate relationship with him. He also asked me directly to have sex with him and to begin a ‘love affair’ with him.”



She said Proctor’s advances seemed “too outrageous to be real”.

Among the 800 to 900 messages sent by Proctor over nine-days was one which asked: “Hey sexy... have you looked at my video yet, naughty huh?”



Another read: “I love squeezing your bum it’s a nice shape. I still want to get you naked.’’



Proctor, of Henley-upon-Thames, Oxfordshire, was struck of the medical register immediately.

Panel chair Stephen Mooney said: “Dr Proctor demonstrated absolutely no appreciation or understanding of the effects of his behaviour upon the doctor.



“He failed to appreciate how the imbalance of power in their professional relationship affected her ability to respond to his unwanted advances.



“Even when she told Dr Proctor that she was in a relationship he appeared to work on the basis that he would ultimately wear her resistance down. The impact of Dr Proctor’s behaviour on the doctor cannot be under-estimated.”
