I see one of the Interesting Names is in the paper again.
A doctor has been suspended from practising for nine months after pleading guilty to possessing images of child sex abuse.
The doctor, whose name is suppressed, was sentenced to four months’ home detention after admitting 25 charges of possessing objectionable material and one charge of distributing an objectionable publication.
The material was found on the doctor’s computer and an external hard drive which contained over 400,000 files, 290,000 of which related to images of young girls in explicit sexual poses.
In a decision released by the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal today, the doctor had his registration suspended for nine months from the date of the hearing – July 26, 2010.
The tribunal also imposed several conditions for three years after the suspension ended, including that he comply with ongoing counselling, ongoing oversight by the health committee of the Medical Council, and that he undergo a psychiatric assessment confirming fitness to practise before he was re-registered. He was also ordered to pay $6000 costs.
In its findings, the tribunal said the doctor had a psychiatric diagnosis of paraphilia, which involved compulsive masturbation and the use of images when masturbating. This was apparently under control as a result of medication he was now taking.
I’m not sure the people of what ever town this paraphile is likely to inhabit are going to be too keen on having him look at their children for medical attention. But that is no matter, because we all can’t know who he is because Judge Grant Fraser thinks:
“In this case there is no offending against any individuals within the New Zealand community.”
Like how could he possibly know that? Did the judge personally sight every single one of the 400,000 images, including the more than 290,000 images of children and positively identify each one as from overseas? Does that matter that his victims were from overseas?
Isn’t it amazing that the truth is leaking out…when first reported it was “many images” to more than 10,000 and now a staggering 290,000 images of children. But the Judge saw this at e light end of the scale. Judge Grant Fraser is clearly pedo-friendly and gets the Pedobear seal of approval.
All I can say is don’t get sick/burn yourself in the Manawatu.
This case remains an outrage, luckily for the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal they can rely on Judge grant Fraser’s pedo-friendly ruling to allow the Dirty Doctor to remain hidden behind the mask of the Burqa of our Justice System.
