Swansea Doctor Sentenced for Hospital Sexual Assaults

A 55-year-old former senior doctor has been sentenced after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two female staff members at Morriston Hospital in Swansea. 🏥

Naleen Thota, from Penllergaer, received a 21-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, following the incidents at his workplace. He will remain on the sex offenders register for ten years and is subject to restraining orders against both victims for the same period.

Additionally, Thota has been ordered to complete 300 hours of unpaid work.

Sergeant Danielle Thorne said: “Naleen Thota abused his position as a senior doctor at Morriston Hospital. On two separate occasions, he ensured that he and his victims were alone together and that nobody could see what he was doing. This was predatory behaviour which has left his victims with a huge impact to their mental health. Both victims showed tremendous courage in coming forward and reporting Naleen Thota’s actions, and we hope that they feel some comfort that he has now been found guilty and sentenced.”
