LONDON & LIVERPOOL, UK: A Merseyside dentist sentenced for a number of child sex offences by the Liverpool Crown Court last year has been struck off the register, the General Dental Council (GDC) has said. The man from Birkenhead on the Wirral Peninsula recently pleaded guilty to having groomed a child under 16 years of age at least three times and to having made indecent photographs of a minor.
He was given a 12-month jail sentence suspended for 24 months and required to enrol in the Horizon programme, a sex offenders’ treatment scheme recently introduced in Northern England and Wales, according to court files.
A GDC spokesperson said that his behaviour was not compatible with the trust patients rightly place in dental professionals and that he was removed immediately from the register after a Professional Conduct Committee hearing in December.
“Your behaviour was wholly inappropriate and unacceptable,” a GDC report states. “The Committee has determined that the only appropriate and proportionate sanction in this case is that of erasure.”
Previously, the man had worked for more than a decade at Westbourne Dental Practice in Prenton.
He has 28 days to appeal against the decision.
