A SURGEON told a nurse that she should ‘hurry up and have an affair with him before she dried up due to her age’, a tribunal was told this week.
Dr Muhammad Khan, who was an orthopaedic surgeon at Barnsley Hospital, has been appearing before the tribunal in Manchester since last Monday to face allegations from three women about sexual misconduct during his time working in the town.
One woman, known as Miss A, alleges that the 54-year-old said her bottom was ‘big and firm’ before he pushed his groin into her, making suggestive groans, during a six-year period from 2006.
Miss A said he touched her breast while working in theatre and struck her hands with a bone lever during a surgical procedure.
Another woman, known as Miss C - who has given evidence this week - claims Dr Khan sexually assaulted her between 2006 and 2013 during alleged incidents during which she says he groped her vagina on two occasions.
She says Dr Khan put his genitals close to her face while she was kneeling and said ‘don’t bite it, blow it’ before speaking in a sexual nature in Afrikaans in which he allegedly described what he would like to do to her if he ‘got the chance’.
The third complainant, known as Miss D, was a technical officer at the hospital who claims that Dr Khan asked her to go ‘on a date’ with him between March and May in 2013 before allegedly approaching her from behind on May 23, 2013, and wrapping his arms around her chest.
He denies sexually motivated misconduct.
The hearing, which is due to end next week, continues.
