That is just awful. It says that Ian MacPhail admitted to having 1,300 child abuse images, including babies being sexually assaulted by adult males. Which he shared online with others.
MacPhail was put on the sex offenders register, and contacted the NMC himself.
Excerpt from the article:
=============
“But shockingly, the pervert told the nursing watchdog that he believed he should be able to return to work in light of the coronavirus pandemic.”
“However, the NMC found that his fitness to practise was severely impaired given the charges.”
“In their decision notice, they said: “The panel took account of the fact that Mr Macphail’s actions did not amount to actual physical harm to the patients in his care.”

Well, now. And women are awful for being creeped out by men in places where they are undressing or otherwise vulnerable. To push back against a situation that made them uncomfortable and which technically and practically would provide opportunity for any man to commit voyeurism/ peeping or exposure/flashing. All a man had to say, was ‘I’m a lady too’.
Puts into perspective the lack of awareness of that witness who was basically admonishing Sandie that a man in the women’s changing room was fine as they were all DBS checked. That Ian MacPhail nurse who was sharing child sexual abuse is a perfect illustration of how someone can pass the DBS, but still be a sexual pervert because their perversion just hasn’t been found or exposed yet. For the 10 years he was accumulating 1,300 images of young boys (including babies) being brutalised by adult men, Ian MacPhail would have appeared to be fine according to his DBS check.
Edited to put the name of the nurse with the child abuse images in the first line.
