An NHS worker who was exposed as leading a secret double life as a porn star claims she was forced out of her day job.

Kathleen Molloy, an administrator based at Litherland Town Hall, was suspended after her X-rated alter ego ‘Dylan Devere’ was revealed.

She has starred in numerous adult films including Omar’s Fat Bird Frenzy and The Deadly Sins of Mistress Sinclair, according to the Internet Movie Database website.

Her profile on an internet escort directory describes her as a “part-time porn star, full-time hottie”.

She charged £120 an hour for kinky services including ‘adult baby minding’.

An employment tribunal heard Ms Molloy’s bosses at Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust became aware of her double life in August last year and she was suspended.

Ms Molloy was signed off sick after her second job was exposed and she later resigned.

The judge will consider whether this was an “enforced resignation”, the tribunal heard.

Ms Molloy worked for a geriatric medicine consultant and had very little face-to-face contact with patients, the tribunal heard.

Giving evidence, she said: “I wasn’t in the public eye and I really enjoyed my job and wanted to go back to it.

“What I did didn’t break any laws. At the time, I thought there are people who have done a lot worse than me.

“There are people who have broken the law who have been allowed to keep their jobs.”

She described feeling “shell-shocked and numb” when she was suspended.

During cross-examination, Ms Molloy was quizzed about her sex work.

NHS barrister Lena Amartey asked: “Websites advertised a shopping list of what you were prepared to do and for what price. Do you accept the general public might consider that to be unacceptable for someone who works in the NHS?”

Ms Molloy replied: “No I wouldn’t say that.”

She added: “Those sites need to be sought out. The majority of people going to those sites would need to have sought them out.”

Ms Amartey said Ms Molloy had a “general obligation” to get NHS permission before doing outside work.

The barrister suggested to Ms Molloy: “You didn’t tell them because you knew it would be unacceptable to them.”

Ms Molloy replied: “I didn’t tell the employer because it didn’t have any impact on my work and I only did it occasionally.”

The case continues this afternoon at Liverpool Civil and Family Court.
