Salford: A woman has bravely opened up about the devastating impact of being sexually abused by her doctor. Dr. Wayne Davis, a well-respected GP, violated her trust during a medical examination.
She described how he made inappropriate comments and conducted an invasive procedure that left her feeling traumatized. The prosecutor highlighted how the experience haunted her for years.
After she reported the abuse, another woman came forward with similar allegations from the 1990s. This second victim also felt uncomfortable during her visit but trusted Dr. Davis, which made the situation even more painful.
Dr. Davis denied any wrongdoing, but after two trials, he was found guilty of indecent assault. Reporting restrictions initially kept the details under wraps, but they were lifted after a retrial.
During the sentencing hearing, one victim shared her emotional story via video link. She spoke about how her trust was shattered at just 18 years old, affecting her marriage and mental health.
She explained that the invasive examination had a lasting impact on her life, leading to struggles with intimacy and relationships. The trauma from that day still lingers, making her feel broken and damaged.
Despite seeking therapy, she continues to battle anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. The fear and anger from the experience have made it hard for her to trust anyone, especially doctors.
She moved back to London to feel safe and has been supported by community charities. Dr. Davis was sentenced to eight years in prison and will remain on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
