"A GP has told a jury that an alleged rapist told her he was dangerous and needed stopping.
Dr Miriam Hodgson claimed that during a routine consultation over some cardiac readings, heart patient John Kevin O’Neil had told her he had raped a woman and had had sadomasochistic sex.
She alleged he said he was seeking out ever more extreme sex and was trying to make gangs of men kill him.
She recorded in her notes: “patient feels he is dangerous and feels he needs to be stopped.”
She said she referred him urgently to mental-health specialists and the surgery barred him from seeing its women doctors.
The prosecution at York Crown Court alleges that O’Neil, 44, of no fixed address, raped a woman on July 19 some weeks after he saw the doctor. He denies the charge. "
Maybe that had something to do with the judgement.
