UK surgeon rapes mother of patient he treated, tells her you owe me for making your child well
One of Britain's top heart surgeons raped a woman in his office after telling her 'you owe me' for helping her sick child, a court heard. The alleged victim told how 53-year-old Mohamed Amrani was still in his scrubs as he forced his tongue in her mouth and kissed her neck and ears. She told jurors how the consultant surgeon then stripped her naked and said 'I'm going to f*** you,' then sexually assaulted her. The alleged victim, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is one of four women he is said to have attacked during a campaign of 'sexual bullying' at the hospital between 2001 and 2014.
When she begged him 'please don't do that', Amrani turned her around and said he was going to have sex with her from behind, the Old Bailey heard. He then sat her down on the sofa in his office at Harefield Hospital in Hillingdon, west London and forced her to perform a sex act, jurors were told.
She said she felt she was left 'very, very shaken' after the attack and felt she could not report the incident because of Amrani's position at the hospital, where his wife Clare worked part-time. Amrani was finally reported to police in 2015 - by which time he had allegedly patted the bottom of a fifth victim at the Cromwell private hospital in Kensington, west London, in June 2014. Prosecutors claim he carried out the assaults over 13 years and believed his position as one of Britain’s leading surgeons meant his victims would never dare to complain. He denies all the attacks and any sexual contact with the women, and claims they have invented the accusations against him.
Jurors were told how Amrani forced one of the victims to perform oral sex on him before his phone rang.
He answered 'hello', tied up his operating theatre 'scrubs' and left the room, the court heard.
The alleged victim added: 'I just thought to myself at that time, "there's no way I can report this".
On Tuesday, another victim told the court that she was attacked in 2002, when Amrani allegedly ‘reached out’ to grab her breasts. She said she had not made a formal complaint because ‘the surgeons are all powerful’, and she feared she would not be taken seriously. It is also alleged that Amrani had grabbed another woman’s breasts in a hospital corridor in 2014. She also did not make a formal complaint, the court heard, but he later said to her 'you do realise I will f**** you sooner or later', and she subsequently told the police. The fifth victim also alleged she had been patted on the bottom by Amrani at the Cromwell private hospital on 7 June 2014. She tried to slap him across the face but he ducked, jurors heard.
Amrani, from Harrow, northwest London, denies one count of rape, one count of assault by penetration, six counts of indecent assault and three counts of sexual assault.
The trial continues.
