A Worcestershire gynaecologist, who is being sued by a female patient over an alleged sexual assault during an examination, has denied trying to start an affair with the woman.

Bibi Giles, 50, brought the civil action against Angus Thomson following a six-month course of treatment for a prolapse at Droitwich Spa Hospital.

She claims she was sexually assaulted and sexually harassed by the 40-year-old medic and wants £50,000 in damages.

At the hearing at Worcester County Court, her barrister Mark Lyne claimed the father-of-three had repeatedly tried to initiate sexual contact with his client over a series of consultations and phone conversations between November 2006 and May 2007.

He said: “You were engaged in a situation where you had sexual contact with Mrs Giles and sexual conversations with her and you were implying and suggesting that things could go further.

“The nature of your conversations with her was such that you were implying there could be something more but you wanted her to make the first move.”

Mr Angus, whose wife Lucy was in court with him, disputed the allegations saying all he had done was try to act professionally and in the best interests of his patient.

He claimed she kept ringing him outside of office hours wanting to have a relationship but he told her he was not interested, becoming increasingly frustrated at the contact.

He said: “I told her I did not want anything to happen because I was happily married and had three children.

“When she called me I checked if she was medically well, I ran through a few things with her and then told her she should stop calling me.

“She was calling me perpetually, when she made these calls there seemed to be no real reason for this.

“I was extremely frustrated at the situation and told her I wanted her to stop.”

Asked why he continued to see Mrs Giles as a patient despite reporting her to doctor’s legal aid group the Medical Defence Union in February, he added: “I felt that she would be gone from my life if I saw her for that last consultation.

“I didn’t believe this would happen, I have never been in this situation before.

“I honestly believed it would stop if I was courteous and dealt with clinical matters.”

Earlier in the hearing Mrs Giles claimed she had two “leg buckling” orgasms during an examination on November 30 by the doctor at the hospital.

She told how she was horrified at what had happened especially as a nurse had been standing just feet away.

Following the examination she said she rang her husband in tears about what happened but had continued use Mr Angus to treat her condition as she didn’t want to have to find a new gynaecologist.

The court also heard how she sent a lewd text message to the doctor saying ‘the new arrival needs christening with Angus beef sausage’ - a reference to her body following the operation.

Mrs Giles said she regretted sending the text message which has just been designed to get Mr Giles to ring her.

The case continues.
