Victims were attacked at hospital

The offences relate to six female victims and were committed between 1973 and 1988.

The victims, who were aged between 12 and 18, had all been referred to Salmon, who was a consultant paediatrician at various hospitals in the Aylesbury area.

The court heard how many of them had felt “uncomfortable” when being examined by Salmon, but believed that he was trustworthy because he was a doctor.

In one case, he took a 16-year-old girl to his home and raped her.

The court heard how following the assault, he dropped her off at a bus stop to make her own way home.

Others reported having to kiss Salmon goodbye whenever they finished an appointment with him.

Four victims initially came forward and Salmon was arrested and charged in November 2013.
