A 'devious' doctor who slipped his own semen into a woman's coffee has been struck off with "immediate effect".

The risk perverted Nicholas Chapman poses to the public means he will never work in the medical profession again.

A trial found the former GP had filled hundreds of 'specimen' samples with his semen, before pouring them into the hot drinks of his victim.

She had noticed her beverage tasted "salty", so she'd poured it away, only to notice a "thick gloopy" substance in the sink.

"I did not know what it was," she recalled. "I did not suspect it could have been semen at that point."

The victim told the court: "He was then bringing me more drinks - probably one to three cups of coffee a week.

"Since that occasion, I tipped them away in the sink - seeing the sort of substance in the sink - it was different size and quantities each time.

"At least six times I've seen it - I've not drunk it since that first time."

In September 2021 - a year later - she became suspicious once more after spotting Chapman's collection of "specimen pots", the Mirror[2] reports.

She shared: "I instantly suspected he had been putting semen in them and transporting them into my drink.

"I was in shock at that point. I noticed in his trouser pocket what looked like one of those bottles."

She said she felt "instantly ill" the next time Chapman offered to make her a coffee, and was left "shaking that he had put something in it".

Not taking any chances, she took a sample of the "gloopy" drink straight to the police and it tested positive for Chapman's semen.

Chapman, who trained at the University of Cape Town, was arrested after arriving at work.

Once the allegations came to light, he was suspended from his position at the Somerset-based health centre.

Chapman claimed the collection of samples was due to a "secret" condition that saw him discharge semen during defecation and insisted that his masturbation had "nothing to do with pleasure - but a painful necessity".

He attempted to say someone else must have been responsible for putting them in the coffee, as a "prank".

During the trial, the victim also described how Chapman had shown her photographs of his "erect penis" on at least two occasions.

When asked in court about these phone photos, Chapman claimed this was an "accident" and that he'd been "mortified".

Describing how Chapman's actions had impacted her, the victim told the court: "I feel betrayed by him, by his actions. He has made me feel powerless.

"The devious and cowardly nature has shocked me.

If this was a physical attack, I may have at least had a chance to defend myself."

Chapman was sentenced at Gloucester Crown Court in 2023 after being found guilty of one count of engaging in sexual activity without consent for making the victim "ingest his semen" on September 13, 2021.

Jurors found the disgraced doctor not guilty of a second count of the same charge, which was allegedly committed between September 12, 2020, and September 12, 2021.

The disgraced doctor was given a 12-month community order, and made the subject of a 10-year restraining order preventing him from contacting the victim.

He was also given a five-year notification order and made to pay court costs totalling GBP3,500.

Chapman has now been struck off following a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearing, held between June 23 and July 8 this year.

MPTS Chair, Mr Jonathan Storey, concluded that Chapman's erasure from the medical register "was the only sanction that would mark the seriousness of his misconduct and conviction".

He said: "Erasure would send a message to the medical profession and to the public that this type of behaviour was unacceptable."
