Overview
- Preston Crown Court sentenced Amal Krishna Bose, 55, after a June jury verdict finding him guilty on 12 counts of sexual assault against five female colleagues.
- Judge Ian Unsworth said Bose abused his status as a senior consultant and ordered him to sign the sex offenders register for life.
- The offences took place between 2017 and 2022 at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, where prosecutors described a toxic, sexualised culture that discouraged challenge.
- Victim statements detailed panic attacks, anxiety and self-harm, with some women taking sick leave or leaving their jobs because of his behaviour.
- Lancashire Police and the CPS said he dismissed his conduct as 'flirting' or 'workplace banter', and the hospital trust pledged support for staff and further cultural changes.
