A British abortionist who had been accused of sexually abusing a teenage patient after learning she was pregnant has been found guilty.

Rashid Sandhu, who works at James Paget Hospital in Gorleston, was convicted of sexually assaulting the girl after lying to her about the pregnancy.

During the trial, Norwich Crown Court officials heard testimony saying Sandhu [molested her] while claiming he was doing an abortion on her.

After the girl approached authorities with the accusations, police found more than 100 images of child pornography on his computer.

Sandhu pleaded guilty to 17 charges related to the child pornography but denied the sexual assault charge. On 30April, the jury returned a guilty verdict after the eight-day trial completed.
