Concerning Stuart Gray, paramedic (Health and Care Professions Council PA18021).
Decision date: 3 December 2024 · Hearing started 3 December 2024
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found Stuart A Gray's fitness to practise impaired following multiple serious sexual offence convictions. It found a high risk of repetition, no insight or remediation, and conduct fundamentally incompatible with registration, and struck him off the register.
Charges
Stuart A Gray was convicted at St Albans Crown Court of multiple offences including sexual activity with a child, causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, rape, controlling or coercive behaviour, voyeurism, and making indecent photographs of children. The allegation was that his fitness to practise was impaired by reason of the convictions.
Findings
The panel found the convictions proved and found Stuart A Gray's fitness to practise impaired. It found a high risk of repetition, no insight or remediation, grave breaches of trust and conduct fundamentally incompatible with continued registration. It directed that his name be struck off the register and imposed an interim suspension order for up to 18 months pending the appeal period.
