A family doctor accused of being sexually motivated during consultations with some of his former patients, appeared before a tribunal today.

Dr Babatunde Oshinusi, who used to work at St Mary’s Medical Centre, Strood, is said to have carried out sexually motivated consultations of five former patients at the practice.

The GP, pictured here, was cleared by a court in November 2013, of molesting six women while carrying out examinations at his surgery.

He had worked at the practice between February 2007, and July 2010 and was acquitted of 15 charges relating to the patients at Maidstone Crown Court.

The married GP in his late 40s was suspended at the time of his court case.

Since then he has been allowed to work with conditions, but still faced allegations brought by the General Medical Council.

Dr Oshinusi, of Tunbury Avenue, Walderslade, Chatham, had denied 12 charges of assault by penetration and three of sexual assault.

One of the women was aged 81 when she complained that the father-of-two had touched her in a sexual way in 2010 when she went to see him about a bladder problem.

The Nigerian-born GP claimed he was acting in accordance with good medical practice at all times.

Five of the women had claimed they were not offered a chaperone during the examinations. The sixth said she was offered one but declined because she trusted him.

One of the women, aged 38, said she went to see Oshinusi in March 2010 about stomach problems and he told her to remove her upper clothing so that he could examine her breasts.

She claimed the GP then told her to remove her lower clothing and proceeded to give her intimate examination with her on all fours.

Dr Oshinusi denied he either examined the woman’s breasts or asked her to be examined in that position.

The tribunal, led by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) in Manchester, opened this morning and is expected to last until Friday, July 22.

The MPTS hears cases against doctors where serious concerns have been raised and as a result their fitness to practice has been called into question by the General Medical Council.

A spokesman for the MPTS, said: “The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that, while working as a General Practitioner at St Mary’s Medical Centre, Strood, between 28 February 2007 and 1 July 2010, Dr Oshinusi’s actions were sexually motivated in consultations with five patients.”
