A dirty doctor who used a James Bond-style spy watch to secretly film intimate examinations of women patients was warned he faces jail today.

Pervy GP Davinderjit Bains, 45, was found with more than 350 high-quality recordings of his unsuspecting victims made over three years.

Bains, 45, fondled the breasts and groin area during the unnecessary examinations of 30 patients aged between 14 and 51.

And the family doctor filmed them all on two hi-tech spy watches - freely available on the internet for under £60 - so he could watch it back later.

The camera was hidden in the number six on the watches and operated by single button.

Bains was finally snared when a teenager told police he had plied her with booze before she was sexually assaulted.

The 19-year-old students also told cops she believed the doctor had been filming her as she showered at his home using what she said was a secret camera hidden in a watch placed on a certain shelf in the bathroom.

Detectives swooped on his clinic in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, in June and were stunned to discover 361 video clips - between 10 to 45 minutes long - showing the intimate examinations of more than 200 patients he treated.

Bains, who had worked at the practice for four years, was wearing the watch when he was arrested.

Police combed through medical records of women who were registered with the clinic and contacted 3,000 potential victims.

Stills of video footage were then painstakingly matched with women treated at Tinkers Lane Surgery who had no idea they had been filmed.

At Swindon Crown Court today, Bains admitted two charges of voyeurism, two of sexual activity with a child and a single charge of assault by penetration.

At a previous hearing he had pleaded guilty to 12 charges of assault by penetration, 11 charges of sexual assault and 11 charges of voyeurism.

In total, he admitted to 39 sex charges dated between July 2010 and May last year. A further four offences, which he denied, will lie on the file.

Judge Douglas Field told bespectacled Bains, of Swindon, Wilts, he would be sentenced at a later date.

The judge said: “You will remain in custody and you will be brought back here on a date to be notified to you. You will go now with the custody staff.”

Det Insp Mark Garrett, of Wiltshire Police, who led the investigation, said: “Medical experts who viewed the footage found the examinations were unnecessary and inappropriate.

“Our challenge was to identify who these patients were, to locate them and disclose that their medical examination had been recorded by their family doctor for his own gratification.

“There were a number who simply couldn’t believe it. They couldn’t believe that their GP had betrayed their trust in such a way.

“Others were outraged and concerned that the footage could have been shared but I can categorically say we found no evidence to show that it had been.”

Married Bains, who was separated from his wife but had a girlfriend at the time of his offending, was suspended by the General Medical Council after his arrest.

DI Garrett added: “He is a sexual predator who abused the trust of his patients and his position of authority.

“In almost 30 years of police service I have never come across a case like that of Dr Davinderjit Bains.”

A statement on behalf of Tinkers Lane Surgery said those at the practice were “appalled” and Bains’ case had been “shocking and distressing for all concerned”.
