GP jailed for sexually assaulting crash victims
The jury convicted Muhammed Iqbal after two women said he assaulted them during medical examinations arranged by insurance firms.
- On Friday, GP Muhammed Iqbal was jailed for 18 months at Newcastle Crown Court after being convicted of sexually assaulting two women during medical examinations.
- Insurance companies employed Iqbal to conduct medical reports for accident victims in Darlington and Sunderland. Despite denying the charges, the 64-year-old was convicted following a trial last month.
- During appointments, Iqbal groped one victim's breast while falsely claiming he needed to examine the second victim for "checking for lumps," despite this being unrelated to her consultation.
- Judge Edward Bindloss condemned the attacks as "deplorable," stating they breached the physician-patient bond. Northumbria Police Sergeant Kimberley Ball praised the victims for their "bravery and courage" in reporting the crimes.
- Iqbal was placed on the Sex Offender Register for 10 years and will be struck off by the GMC, ensuring he will never practice medicine again.
