Sexual Attacks in Hospitals

Introduction

Two people had problems with the law. They attacked people in hospitals in the UK and Canada.

Main Body

Dr. Naleen Thota worked in a hospital in the UK. He attacked two women who worked with him. He used his power to hurt them. The judge said he was wrong. He cannot work for one year. He must also do 300 hours of work for the community. In Canada, a 59-year-old man was a patient in a hospital. He attacked two workers. He also threatened another worker. The police arrested him. Now he has criminal charges. Nurses in Canada are angry. They say hospitals are not safe. They want the government to make a new plan. This plan must stop violence at work.

Conclusion

Both people now have criminal charges. The doctor cannot work.
