Berkshire GP Sentenced to 22 Years for Indecent Assaults on Patients

Dr. Stephen Cox was convicted of multiple assaults on seven female patients during routine examinations between 1988 and 1997.

Dr. Stephen Cox was found guilty of 12 counts of indecent assault after a four-week retrial at Reading Crown Court.
The assaults occurred in Bracknell, Berkshire, where Cox practiced as a GP, exploiting his position of trust.
Victims reported that Cox conducted unnecessary examinations, including touching and pressing against them without medical justification.
The police investigation relied on handwritten GP notes, as the incidents predated computerised healthcare records.
Despite denying all allegations and showing no remorse, Cox's conviction was secured through consistent victim testimonies.
