Conman poses as doctor & sexually abuse six women in fake checkups

A conman wore a stethoscope and white coat to pose as a doctor and sexually abuse six women patients, a court heard today.
Antonio Gobbato, who said he was a doctor working for the NHS, claimed he was diagnosing the women by fondling their breasts, a court was told. He also posed as a gynaecologist, paediatrician and a psychiatrist and had fake certificates and microscopes to fool the women at various premises across London, it is alleged.
It was also said that a woman who complained of liver problems had her breast fondled on the pretence he was looking for ‘nodules and hormones’ and she even paid a consultation fee in the belief the treatment was genuine.In others cases he made ‘terrifying statements’ to persuade parents to let him accompany their children to Italy for treatment, it is claimed.Gobbato denies seven counts of sexual assault, two attempted frauds and one fraud.The case continues.
