After being found guilty of sexually abusing two female patients and a student nurse, a former nurse will spend time behind bars.
In the Parramatta District Court, Ali Khamis Moh’d was on trial for eight distinct cases of rape or non-consensual sexual touching.
He refuted the accusations, saying he wasn’t engaging in any sexual activity and was only carrying out medical treatments.
A jury found that the 44-year-old was guilty of abusing three different women today, partially rejecting these accusations.
At the time of his crimes in March 2022, he was employed as a clinical nurse specialist at the private hospitals in Sydney’s Norwest and Nepean, having started work in December 2018.
Following a 14-hour deliberation period, the jury concluded that Moh had taken hold of the knickers of the 21-year-old student nurse and pulled it away from her skin to reveal her genitalia while instructing her on how to use a stethoscope to listen for bowel sounds.
More complaints from a 25-year-old woman were admitted by the jury.
She said that Moh had examined a surgical wound on her groin area, caressing it before touching her vagina with his fingers.
Only some of the claims made by a 67-year-old patient undergoing heart surgery turned out to be accurate.
The woman had taken a shower prior to her procedure, and it was discovered that Moh’d had touched her breasts when reattaching the heart monitor stickers to her body.
However, the jury acquitted him of two other charges pertaining to same patient, including that he had sexually provocative massages of her back with cream after squeezing her nipple during the sticker replacement process.
They also disregarded statements made by a different patient who had cardiac surgery.
The 58-year-old said that Moh had put his finger in her vagina while shaving her groin area, and that he had also put his finger in her anus when administering an enema.
He was found not guilty by the jury of the charges. Following the verdicts, he was placed under arrest and will appear in court for a sentencing hearing on September 27.
