Neurosurgeon Nafees Hamid, 51, was cleared of six other counts of sexual assault relating to four other women.

Hamid - who worked at Queen Elizabeth and Priory hospitals in the city - was convicted of offences committed in 2012 and 2013.

The spinal injury specialist used his trusted status to launch the attacks during supposedly legitimate medical examinations, Birmingham Crown Court heard.

He is expected to be sentenced later today.
