Paramedic asked trainee if she used sex toys and whether she 'waxed or shaved'

A paramedic has been suspended after he asked a trainee he was mentoring if she used sex toys. Alexander Jones was in an ambulance alone with the student paramedic - who was on her first ever placement - when he quizzed her about using a 'wand' vibrator.

During his pupil's placement with him, Jones asked if she "waxed or shaved" her genitals, if she liked anal sex, and if she "had much luck" on Tinder. Jones, of the Scottish Ambulance Service, also told the trainee "if you sleep with me it won’t affect your grades" and was repeatedly caught staring at her breasts.

A misconduct hearing was told that by the end of her week with Jones in Glasgow, the student was "exhausted" by his sexual innuendos. The trainee, named only as 'Student A', asked for a new mentor because she "couldn't put up with his behaviour" for the three years she was due to spend as his mentee.
