A top surgeon in London was jailed Tuesday for sexually assaulting six patients. 

Nafees Hamid, 51, falsified the medical records of his patients in an attempt to cover his tracks and refrain from getting caught, South African news site IOL News reported.

Hamid, a Pakistani-born man, groped women who came to him with back and neck problems. He apparently would ask the patients to remove their clothes, or even sometimes remove them himself without asking, IOL reported. Hamid would then proceed to touch the patient inappropriately while making salacious comments, according to IOL.

"He [Hamid] started stroking and massaging my lower legs, asking me what sensation I could feel, and gradually moved higher up my legs before sexually assaulting me," a 26-year-old victim told IOL. "I was terrified and froze to the spot - I felt like a little child, powerless to do anything. I felt disgusted, used. It's turned my life upside down."

Hamid was charged with nine accounts of assault by penetration from 2012-2013, however the first complaint against him was in 2009. The 2009 complaint was not handled properly, a spokesman for University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust told IOL. 

"You are without doubt the most intelligent man I have ever seen in the dock," Judge Patrick Thomas QC said to Hamid in court, according to IOL. "You were brought low by a simple failing - lust. This is the most extreme breach of trust." 

Hamid will never work as a doctor again and be put on the sexual offenders register for life, IOL reported.
