It’s hugely unlikely he’ll come away with anything more than a warning. I do believe that the GMC are on to him, I strongly suspect that they wanted the Instagram post admitted as evidence, but it obviously came too late in the process.
The tribunal have only considered the cases of witnesses A B D & E and none of the wider context or history, so are likely to take Harrop’s side.
I would love to be wrong, but I do not believe he has learned a valuable lesson beyond being sorry that he was caught.
I know less than nothing about the official process of all this, but I'm steeling myself for him to be let off very lightly too, because men like him just tend to be, don't they?
However, he has been exposed and publicly humiliated, and given his swaggering hubris and gloating, bombastic misogyny there is some satisfaction in that. I was particularly pleased to see that he'd snivelled about learning his lesson, which seemed fitting when in one of the tweets he's been questioned on he pompously demanded that a woman do exactly that (after she'd apologised and before deleting her account. FFS.)
The angry woman-hater has stripped of his self-importance and forced to face his own abusive behaviour. I truly hope he gets the book thrown at him too, but even if he doesn't, his departure from social media is still something to celebrate. It's not very often it happens that way round.
