Bill Wilson represented a General Practitioner who was charged with four separate counts of Sexual Assault arising from allegations dating back to September 2013. The allegations arose from a complaint by a patient who the Doctor had attended whilst in practice. After charges were preferred in 2014, the matter subsequently went to trial at Lewes Crown Court and following a 12 day hearing, which ended in October 2015, the Jury unanimously returned “Not Guilty” verdicts in relation to each and every count. This was an exceedingly complex case involving substantial documentation, expert evidence and numerous lines of enquiry all of which required extremely careful forensic analysis.
Mr Jeremy Barton of New Park Court Chambers, Leeds was instructed Counsel.
This was the third of similar trials involving Doctors, all of which were successfully defended in the last 12 months by Bankside Law.
A very grateful client remarked, “As a client of Bill's in my recent very serious case, I felt tremendous support from him even on our first meeting and has remained until this day. Nothing was a bother to him and he was always available to answer any fears or queries no matter how small .He explained every step of the legal process in a very reassuring and calm way and left no stone unturned to achieve the positive result for a very complex case. I would thoroughly recommend Bill to be your guiding light in what may be the darkest journey of your life .Thanks again Bill”.
