SWANSEA DOCTOR WHO STALKED EX-LOVER STRUCK OFF
A doctor who stalked his former lover and sent explicit details of her sex life to an ex-partner has been struck off the medical register.Dr Gary Lucitt, 44, an obstetrician and gynaecologist in Swansea, repeatedly turned up at the woman's home in 2018.
He was jailed in 2019 for 16 weeks after pleading guilty to stalking.
A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel directed that Lucitt's name is erased from the medical register with immediate effect.
Lucitt was suspended in June 2018, but was working as a specialist trainee in obstetrics and gynaecology when he was convicted of stalking his former lover, referred to as Ms E, between May and June 2018.
He denied a more serious charge of stalking involving fear of violence or serious alarm or distress.
A restraining order was issued for 5 years.
Tribunal chair Lindsey Irvine stated that 'erasure was the only sanction that would mark the seriousness of Dr Lucitt's conviction and his persistent lack of insight, and...
to maintain public confidence in the profession, the regulator and the regulatory process, and uphold proper professional standards.' He described Lucitt's 'persistent lack of insight, remediation or remorse as aggravating factors', and said he 'failed to recognise the impact of his offending behaviour on others, and has focused solely on the impact on himself'.
The tribunal was aware of a previous conviction for a similar offence just one year prior.
It believed there remains a high risk of repetition.
Alan Taylor, counsel for the General Medical Council, stated Lucitt showed no remorse: 'He takes no responsibility for his actions and continues to blame others,' and claimed Lucitt argued there was a campaign to end his career.
Lucitt chose not to attend or be represented at the tribunal.
Swansea Bay health board said: 'This doctor has not worked for us for some time and therefore we can make no further comment.'
