A woman who was sexually abused by former GP Dr Krishna Singh is urging other potential victims to come forward, following his jailing for offences against 47 patients. Despite the significant number of victims already identified, those affected believe there could be many more women who experienced abuse but have not yet reported it.
Dr Singh, who practised as a GP for decades, was sentenced for a series of sexual offences committed against his patients over many years. The crimes involved a pattern of abuse of trust, exploiting his position to commit acts against vulnerable individuals seeking medical care. The sheer scale of the reported offences highlights a systematic failure to detect and prevent such behaviour over a prolonged period.
The anonymous victim, speaking out in the hope of encouraging others, emphasised the importance of reporting abuse, no matter how long ago it occurred. She highlighted that coming forward can be a crucial step in healing and can also prevent further harm to others. The process of reporting such incidents can be daunting, but support networks exist to assist survivors through every stage.
Investigations into Dr Singh's conduct revealed that his offences took place across multiple GP practices where he worked throughout his career. This widespread nature of his abuse suggests that hundreds, if not thousands, of patients may have been under his care, raising concerns about the potential for further undisclosed victims. Authorities continue to encourage anyone with concerns to come forward.
For those who may have been affected by Dr Singh's actions or any form of sexual abuse, a range of support services are available. Organisations such as Rape Crisis England & Wales, Survivors UK, and the National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC) offer helplines, counselling, and advocacy services. Victims are always advised to contact their GP or call NHS 111 for medical advice and support in the first instance.
