45 Year Old Nurse Jailed 15 Years For Allegedly Sleeping With Patient He Was Meant To Look After

A male nurse by the name of Mohamed Kamara has been kicked out of the profession after he was jailed for 15 years for raping a patient.

The 48-year-old pulled the curtains around the woman’s bed at Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, on May 15, 2017.

He then tried to force-feed her sleeping pills before se.xually abusing her. Kamara had been assigned to the woman as one of a team of one-to-one mental health nurses providing 24-hour care because of the risk she posed.

After being raped she suffered from PTSD, emotionally unstable personality disorder and depression. After the rape, he forced her to have a shower and changed her bedsheets in a bid to get rid of any evidence. He also threatened her to try and stop her from calling the police.

However, the victim told her daughter and Kamara was arrested before being jailed at Snaresbrook Crown Court in July 2018. The Nursing and Midwifery Council held a hearing where it was decided he should be struck off.

Panel chairman Paul Morris said: ‘Mr. Kamara has been convicted of raping an extremely vulnerable patient in her hospital bed. ‘The panel considered that not only was this a very serious criminal conviction but that it also constituted a gross breach of trust and an abuse of his position.
