In shock my ex GP found guilty of involvement in paedophile chats

[inshock1111]

TRIGGER WARNING

i'm in shock. my old GP who I saw a lot during health problems I had has been found guilty of joining a paedophile group chat online. He was caught because he was talking to undercover police in the group. He pretended to be a woman and talked about allowing people to abuse his fictional children as young as 8.
i just can't believe this, I trusted him, he has seen intimate parts of my body and my daughters body when she was little.
I feel sick.female only gp's for this family from now on.
It has been reported in the local newspaper so definitely true.
posted on AIBU because i have no idea where to put this!

People like that come from all walks of life.

I recall going to the doc once in early 20s. I couldn't get a slot with my normal lady doc so ended up seeing a male doctor. It was just for more pills so straight forward and I wasn't concerned about seeing someone different.

At the end of the appt he asked me something that I knew he shouldn't be asking me. Had I been older and more self assured I probably would have taken it further. I made sure I never got booked in with him again.

Have you been offered any counseling?

That’s awful, I’m so sorry :( I have nothing helpful to suggest but I really feel for you!

so sorry this happened to you

no he had so many patients it wouldn't be possible, I was just so shocked. He was always so nice to me and went above and beyond his job with letters for benefits etc. just goes to show you never can tell
