Jailed: GP who filmed sex attacks on wrist watch

A FAMILY doctor who filmed himself sexually abusing female patients with his James Bond-style wristwatch was jailed for 12 years yesterday.

Dr Davinder Jeet Bains, 46, used a secret camera hidden inside his watch to film assaults on more than two dozen women at a medical practice in Wiltshire, where he was a trusted GP.

Police described Bains as a “sexual predator” and said he had filmed up to 300 women while the sentencing judge branded him a “disgrace to the medical profession”.

Some of his victims at the Tinkers Lane Surgery in Royal Wootton Bassett, near Swindon, spoke of their shock at discovering what the “pervy doctor” had done to them.

One woman, in her 30s, said she felt “violated and humiliated” at seeing the footage and felt “sick”. “I am relieved he has been locked up for 12 years but the horror of what happened to me and the other women is a life sentence,” she said.

Questions were also being asked of the Tinkers Lane Surgery after it emerged that two patients had complained about Bains’s behaviour, but nothing was done.

Bains filmed the attacks on his Tieex 4GB Waterproof HD Spy Watch DVR, which has a built-in camera on the face and can be bought on the internet for less than £60. Bains admitted a total of 39 charges: 13 of assault by penetration, 13 of voyeurism, 11 of sexual assault and two of sexual activity with a child.

He also asked for a further 65 offences to be taken into account and his not guilty pleas to four other charges will lie on file.
