Dentist's 'health fears' for patients

A Lincolnshire dentist who stood for Parliament groped a string of women patients' breasts claiming he was worried that their "glands were swollen," a court heard.

Doctor Adrian Heath allegedly asked one woman to undo her trousers after tweaking her nipples.



And the former prospective Lib Dem MP told another patient he was worried her inflamed glands could "lead to other things" as he cupped her breasts in his hands.

The 44-year-old married man claimed he was concerned about the four women's health, but a jury at Nottingham Crown Court heard the examinations had "no clinical justification." He denies the charges and the trial continues.
