Pervert posed as doctor to sexually assault sleeping hospital patient in her 80s

A pervert posed as a doctor in order to sexually assault a hospital patient in her 80s.

The grandma was asleep in her cubicle in the A&E department of the Royal Liverpool Hospital when Carl Burger targeted her, falsely telling her he was a medical professional who was performing an examination. It came just over two months after he had groped another victim as she slept.

Liverpool Crown Court heard this afternoon, Friday, that the latter incident occurred on June 8 this year. Cheryl Mottram, prosecuting, outlined how the severely disabled woman was asleep on her sofa and woke to find Burger groping her left breast underneath her pyjama top.
