DOCTOR STRUCK OFF AFTER EXPOSING HIMSELF AT MCDONALD'S
A doctor who exposed himself to a 16-year-old McDonald's worker at a drive-through has been struck off.Emmanuel Hakem committed the act after the girl gave him his order at a branch in Bristol in October 2022.
Hakem, who was training in obstetrics and gynaecology at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust at the time, was erased from the medical register on Friday.
After his arrest, Hakem was still allowed to see patients but was required to have a chaperone, according to a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS).
He moved to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in October 2023 but did not start work there as he was charged by police and subsequently excluded from clinical practice.
Hakem denied any wrongdoing but was found guilty of exposure by a jury in September 2024.
He was sentenced to a 42-day community order, was required to undergo rehabilitation, and was placed on the sex offenders register.
