THE jury in the trial of a Bradford doctor accused of sexually assaulting a girl aged 16 will retire to consider its verdicts on Monday.
Fesal Hussain denies groping the teenager on her bed during an unauthorised visit to her home.
It is alleged by the prosecution that Hussain, 33, of St Michael’s Road, White Abbey, Bradford, groped the girl while “disgracefully” masquerading as a doctor from her GP practice in Bradford.
Hussain, who was a locum at two medical practices in the city and worked at Bradford Royal Infirmary, pleads not guilty to two charges of sexually assaulting the complainant on July 8, 2015.
In his defence, he told the jury he made his excuses and left the house without touching the girl at all when he realised she was not his patient and that there had been a "mix up".
The trial at Bradford Crown Court continues.
