Nurse had a 'perverted lust'

A male nurse has been found guilty of performing an intimate examination on a 15-year-old girl for his own sexual gratification.

Damien Bible, 26, of Bolton, Greater Manchester, inserted the cotton bud swab to satisfy a "perverted lust", Bolton Crown Court heard.

The defendant was employed as a young person's health adviser at Bolton's Parallel Clinic, which the girl visited in January last year.

The girl and two teenage friends who were present at the consultation said Bible carried out the swab test, which only a doctor was authorised to do.

Bible, of Gainsborough Avenue, had denied one count of engaging in sexual activity with a child. He had claimed the teenager took the swab herself to check whether she had a sexually transmitted disease.

The jury returned a majority verdict of 11-1 after deliberating for more than seven hours.

Judge Timothy Clayson told Bible: "It is my provisional view that a custodial sentence is inevitable."

Bible was granted bail until sentencing on October 31.

That is certainly a strange occurence i hope this person is not allowed to practice anymore

That is just sad

what kind of sicko would even think of doing that

That is really sick, and I am sorry it happened to a young girl. The incident will probably give her a bad feeling for anything medical from now on.

Criminal acts of perversions to underage children should not be discussed on this site.

This is grossly inapropriate and disgusting. I hope to see this hiddious jerk locked up for some time, and hope the girl is able to recover from this without being forever afraid of a doctor.

As far as this discussions legitimacy on this site - I disagree - I believe it should remain. The discussion is not inappropriate in nature - there is an agreement that perversive acts to children are wrong and unacceptable. To say that this should be blocked out would be to ignore it, and that would be wrong.

It is important to know that this kind of thing does happen in the real world. Most of us have probably read stories (some on this site) dealing with exams at a younger age - first time exams, etc. Often they are used to establish a basis of interest in the fetish. While none of those stories directly cross this boundry of overtly sexual behaviour (at least I have not seen any which do - if I do, I will petition for their removal), they do approach it. It is important to have this discussion to bring into context the reality of the situation. There is a line here that should be discussed. Most sane people will know not to cross it by default. But we should still very clearly state its existance, as a service to the community, to the public readers of this forum, etc, so that we, and they, know exactly where we stand.

Censorship is wrong. Always (for adults). Sensorship is creates ignorance, and ignorance always has a bad ending.

People like that do need locked up, if not they will just do it again, and it might be worse

The problem is that when any person goes to another person of authority, they have an expectation of trust. It was violated here. Of course there needs to be severe punishment, but how does the girl get back the trust she placed in others? Its a problem.

It amazes me the laughable defenses people can come up with. She took the swab herself? Who came up with the gem? not only should this guy never be allowed to practice medicine, but his lawyer should be disbarred for being idiot.

Thank god he was caught. Whilst we all have fantasys, reality is a very sickening thing

Doctor_Steve_UK appears to have reported this case quite properly and it is wrong for at least one other poster to vilify him for so doing.

It is I am sure an intended warning to members and guests, of what is right and what is wrong. It is also a warning to would be examiners not to accept as patients people who appear to be anything like youthful. Appearances can be deceptive. If you're not sure, get proof of age.

Personally I will not take any person of 16 or 17, at all. I will not take any person of 18 or 19 without a same sex chaperon.

With regard to whether such matters should be discussed on the Boards, or not, it is surely the intent that matters and also the content. The other day I came across a series of postings by an alleged mature male concerning enforced and very invasive examinations at school. The poster was allegedly reporting the results of a Poll wherein respondents were asked to state whether they had suffered such treatment and asked to describe it. I have to say that the acts under discussion were the most perverted I had ever read.

On investigation it was plain that the poster had constructed the Poll himself and it was equally plain to see that he was the only respondent, purporting to be many.

He was clearly obsessed with conduct which would hurt a child, both physically and psychologically.

I reported the matter to the moderator and I was pleased to note after 24 hours that this disgusting material had been taken down. Sadly ,the said mature male still has his testicles!

So Dr Steve I believe your intention was sound. I am sorry that you appear to have been misjudged. Dr Karl

I agree, the poster was just reiterating the facts, not condoning such behavior! Look at all of the inappropriate behavior in our society each and everyday including acts against children by religious personnel! In fact just look at what our elected officials do on a regular basis, and yet they're continually reelected!

Lock him up and throw away the key, there is no place for people doing things to others without consent in our society. Thats not to mention the fact that the poor girl was a minor, keep him locked up or casterate him!

This is most unfortunate because it onvolves a minor. I suspect many things occur in the doctor's office that are inappropriate and not acceptable medical practice.

Disgusting. Hope he gets much jail time.
