An NHS healthcare worker has been sentenced to nine years in prison after s3xually ass@ulting two patients during fake medical examinations carried out for his own gratification.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ieuan Crump, 26, committed the offences while working at the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran. Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard that he subjected the women to phoney and entirely unnecessary examinations while they were in pain and at their most vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crump, of Gilfach, Caerphilly, denied the allegations but was found guilty by a jury of nine counts of s3xual ass@ult, including three counts of ass@ult by penetration.<\/span><\/p>\n

The offences took place in August 2021 while Crump was conducting scans and examinations as part of his role as a healthcare support worker.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a victim impact statement read to the court, one woman described the lasting trauma she has endured since the attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe main emotional effect of the s3xual ass@ults has been the negative effect on my mental health,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI felt there was no way to escape the intrusive thoughts of what he did to me, which led me to try to take my life on three occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just wanted my life to be over, so I didn\u2019t have to relive what was in my head, of what Ieuan did to me. I feel very uncomfortable when I am treated by anyone in the medical profession, as I now trust no one, least of all medics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have been living in a nightmare since this time\u2026 I feel like I\u2019m a shell of the person that I used to be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Another victim told the court that Crump\u2019s actions left her fearful and distrustful.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has made me think that, if a healthcare worker can commit such an act, then any man is a threat. I do not want to be treated by the NHS or go back to the Grange,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prosecutor Matthew Roberts described the crimes as an extreme abuse of trust, saying Crump deliberately targeted young, vulnerable women who were in significant pain and under the influence of strong medication.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the most egregious, grotesque abuse of trust by somebody in a position of responsibility,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defending, Marian Lewis said Crump had previously volunteered with St John Ambulance and supported his community before committing the offences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sentencing Crump, Judge Vanessa Francis said the case involved a breach of trust of the most serious kind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou manipulated extremely vulnerable women, in significant amounts of pain,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

She added that Crump carried out intimate examinations that were not required, did not wear gloves because he wanted \u201cskin to skin\u201d contact, and caused devastating harm to both victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBoth young women involved in the treatment that you meted out have been utterly devastated by what you did to them,\u201d the judge said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crump was jailed for nine years and ordered to serve at least two thirds of the sentence in custody. He was also placed on the s3x offenders register for life, banned from working with children and vulnerable people, and made subject to restraining orders preventing contact with his victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking after the sentencing, Crown Prosecution Service lawyer Michael Jenkin said, \u201cIeuan Crump exploited his position of power over two women when they were at their most vulnerable, for his own s3xual gratification.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis actions were an extreme breach of trust which was calculated and deliberate. The courage shown by the two women in giving their evidence to the jury allowed the Crown Prosecution Service to present a strong case, resulting in these convictions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
