‘I can’t even undress in front of my husband because of the trauma’

By Eirian Jane Prosser

A VICTIM of predator GP Krishna Singh has said his assaults have had a ‘horrendous’ effect on her.

The woman yesterday welcomed the judge’s verdict but said he should have been forced to spend longer in prison given the scale of his crimes.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said the GP had assaulted her and ‘tried to kiss’ her on multiple occasions.

She said: ‘He touched me inappropriately, touching my breasts when he did not need to.

‘He was very touchy-feely; he tried to kiss you all the time. After it happened a few times, I started taking my husband with me.’

The victim’s abuse began when she was in her early thirties and had gone to see Singh about getting a breast reduction to stop the ongoing pain she was experiencing.

After taking advice on losing weight before undergoing surgery, the woman returned to Singh to ask whether she could now be referred for treatment.

She said: ‘I asked him whether he would put me forward for this [surgery] now and he said, “There is no need when you have got lovely [breasts] like these” and put his hands on them.’

He continued to touch her inappropriately, so the victim began bringing her husband to the appointments.

She said: ‘Nothing happened when I took my husband.’

The victim said she now can’t even undress in front of her husband because of the trauma. She added: ‘Obviously a lot of appointments are over the phone now, but if I do have to go in, the only time I feel comfortable is when I see a nurse.’

The victim was pleased Singh received a prison sentence of 12 years. She said: ‘I am overly delighted that he got 12 years because I never expected him to get that.

‘Twelve years isn’t a long time, he really should have got more, but considering his age I am totally happy with that because I was expecting about five years or less – I thought he would get out.’

Solicitor Laura Connor, who represented 16 of Singh’s victims, said: ‘The victims and the wider community deserve a full public inquiry into why the authorities did not put a stop to Singh sooner.’
