The patient told police that Mr. Crump asked her if the last person she slept with was a boy or a girl.

Matthew Roberts, prosecuting, said: “He was someone you were sexually interested in.”

“No,” Mr. Crump replied.

Mr Roberts said the patient was so upset she wanted to leave, before being seen by a medical registrar – after which she ran to her mother.

The presiding judge, the patient, told police she remembered being touched intimately by Mr Crump, who was not wearing gloves.

“Your hands were shaking. She asked you if you were okay. You said you had too much caffeine,” Mr Roberts said.

“Have you ever said that?”

Mr. Crump replied, “No.”

The court heard Mr Crump made ‘no entry’ signs for rooms in the unit on his day off – an idea he said he received from other departments in the hospital.

Rooms in the unit have doors with a metal blind that can be lowered if patients require privacy during intimate exams and procedures.

“There was no need to make signs,” Mr. Roberts said. “No one said ‘Ieuan, please do the signs’.

“Was it to give dignity to patient care or to ensure you could avoid abuse?

“You took full advantage of it, that’s the truth.”

Mr. Crump replied, “No.”

The trial continues.
