Dr Francis BAILEY

The tribunal will inquire into the allegation that, on 8 December 2023, at Cambridge Crown Court, Dr Bailey was convicted of three counts under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 of engaging in sexual activity with a mentally disordered woman under his care. It is alleged that on 28 February 2024, Dr Bailey was sentenced to 26 months’ imprisonment, a notification requirement to sign the sex offenders’ register for ten years and a restraining order not to contact the victim and another individual for ten years. 

This reflects the allegation as it stands at the start of the hearing. The allegation may be amended as the hearing proceeds and when findings of fact are made by the tribunal.

All decisions are published online within 28 days of the conclusion of the hearing.
