Mohan Babu: Havant GP found guilty of sexually assaulting three women
A GP has been found guilty of sexually assaulting three women
A former GP has been found guilty of sexual assaults against three women. Mohan Babu, 47, from Emsworth, was found guilty of four offences of non-penetrative sexual assaults following a trial at Portsmouth Crown Court on Wednesday (January 31).
The assaults took place between September 2019 and July 2021, when Babu was working as a GP in the Havant area. The women were receiving medical treatment at the time of the offences.
In addition, Babu was found not guilty of three offences of sexual assault against a further two women. He has been conditionally bailed to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on Friday, April 12 for sentencing.
The GP reportedly targeted the three women - the youngest of whom was 19 - at the surgery where he worked alongside his doctor wife, inappropriately touching them and making "creepy" comments. A receptionist he previously worked with said the doctor of 20 years had grabbed her and boasted that he was "a lion going to eat her", a court heard.
Babu was the most-complained about doctor at the surgery and had repeated warnings over his behaviour, jurors were told. Portsmouth Crown Court heard five other women including a receptionist at his former workplace complained about his 'over familiar' behaviour, however criminal proceedings were not brought in relation to their complaints.
