ENGLAND - A doctor pleaded guilty in Britain on Friday to using a camera hidden in his wristwatch to film himself sexually assaulting female patients.
Davinderjit Bains, 45, admitted that he had assaulted 30 women at his practice in southern England.
The Indian-trained doctor had filmed the attacks on his James Bond-style Tieex Spy Watch.
Predator
He admitted to 39 charges - 13 charges of assault by penetration, 13 charges of voyeurism, 11 charges of sexual assault and two charges of sexual activity with a child.
He asked for a further 65 offences to be taken into account when the judge passes sentence.
The police branded Bains a "sexual predator" and said he had covertly filmed more than 100 women, AFP reported.
The offences were committed against females aged between 14 and 51, from July 2010 until May last year.
The doctor came under investigation when one woman told the police that she thought he had filmed her as she showered and said he had sexually assaulted her.
Detectives found the wristwatch when they arrested Bains at his surgery and later recovered 361 video clips from the gadget and his computer.
Detective inspector Mark Garrett, who led the investigation, said Bains had used his position as a family doctor to abuse women.
"Today he stands exposed as someone who has utterly betrayed that trust for his own sexual gratification."
Bains qualified in 1993 as a doctor at Mangalore University in India and became a family doctor in Britain in 2007.
He has been suspended from practising. His surgery said it was "appalled" by Bains' crimes.
"This has been a shocking and distressing case for all concerned," it said in a statement.
